"All-round Pack! 5-Stars"

Bullets and Bandages : Bond of brothers

Robert J. Saniscalchi forgoes flowery language in favour of letting the discourse of guys who were always on edge about coming into contact with the enemy fuel the authenticity of his story.
This book will be especially poignant for anyone who lived through or survived Vietnam or who remember what it caused to this nation.
The heartbreaking narrative of one young soldier's tour of duty in Vietnam is described in Robert J. Saniscalchi's BULLETS AND BANDAGES, which is down to earth, simply presented, and narrated with a raw and natural grace. There is no overdone narrative in this fictionalised tale, which is based on the tales the author heard his older brother tell him. Everything feels natural, right, and true.
Rob, a qualified field medic, was forced to experience and participate in the cruelty of war as the first line of defence against the effects of a gunshot or worse, the loss of both friends and adversaries, the unpredictability of every second, and the bloodshed that became the daily price for survival. It's an all-round powerful piece. I loved it! xoxo
