NOT WITHOUT BLOOD

Available as an e-book with Amazon.com, Not Without Blood is five-star author, Robert L. Mason’s spellbinding account of his campaign with the 3rd Battalion of the 26th Marine Regiment throughout the northern I Corps theater of Vietnam.  From the Siege of Con Thien to the Siege of KheSanh, Not Without Blood takes readers:

“BODY-SNATCHIN’ ALONG THE DMZ”

“…death leaped from the skies like angry exclamation points--screeching slashes in the air, thunderous explosions on the ground.   A direct hit transformed a Marine into a cloud of dust, blood and human debris.  One moment he was there; the next moment he was gone, leaving only red grit and a light red mist to stain the grasses.”
