Excerpt
Some memories exist because they are etched onto one’s mind - by fire and the anguish of true experiences, rather than by choice. I am filled with experiences from my tour of duty in Vietnam, which cannot be wiped away.
I can recall events, names and faces, as if they were right in front of me, but a short time ago. To this day, I thank the Lord in my prayers, for helping me to survive. Sometimes, I dream of the tranquil rice fields, or of the hot, steamy jungles, when everything was very quiet and peaceful. Occasionally, I dream of the men that I could not save, and of the ghastly shadows of my enemies. These images are a contradictory and discordant collage of the horror of war. I have no misgivings about what was done: I was a soldier, doing my duty for my country, in a war far away from my home.

5.0 out of 5 stars
"As I read Bullets and Bandages I realized that the war horrors produced by Hollywood is nothing compared to the real experiences these men and women actually went through. Author Saniscalchi has captured on paper the events and stories that his own brother experienced as he served in the military in Viet Nam. He allows you to feel the bond of friendship that forms between yourself and your buddies. You experience the strength of their will to survive and the strength of true fear. But most importantly, their understanding of the importance of God in their survival."

It was a tribute to all veterans, as well as those who serve now to protect our country. The most intriguing aspect of the novel is that the author writes from personal experience, which makes the book quite relatable. It was an engrossing, engaging, and uplifting book that drew me in from the first page to the last. This book can only be described in one word: magnificent.
The Best Book I Ever Read!
This is one of the best books I have ever read. It holds true for the era. The main character seems a little naive, but, I grew up in that time period, and many of us were really that simple and naive. The story is told in a simple, straightforward, understated manner.
It is well worth the read. I felt emotions I had not felt for a long time.
