内容简介:
Brian Vettraino is a former marine who witnessed the Marine Corpsa evolution from the crusty old war dogs of the Vietnam era into the bright young warriors of today. His book examines these changes in a bold and witty fashion. Its central themes are Vietnam veterans training peacetime recruits, and the collision of two violently opposed personalities played out in the fish-bowl world of the squad bay. Box Me Up and Ship Me Home is a novel about post-Vietnam boot camp. It vividly portrays the horrors of war brought home by the veterans who survived it, yet still manages to be funny as hell. This is boot camp as it has never been shown before.
