Over the past four decades, countless books have been written about the Vietnam War, often highlighting the experiences of soldiers who fought -and -died in it. Very few works, though, offer the unique perspective of the soldier on the ground, in the heat of battle, detailing the conflicting thoughts and emotions that often consumed them from day to day – and moment to moment.

Throughout the pages of Digger Dogface…, though, Gary Prisk provides the reader with just such insight. Based on his own personal experiences in Vietnam, Digger Dogface… takes the reader on a vicarious journey through the heart, mind, and soul of a soldier struggling to come to grips with the unfamiliarity of his surroundings, as well as the uncertainty surrounding his future. Deep, raw, and real, Prisk’s riveting narrative will serve as an eye-opening introduction to the gritty truths of war and conflict for readers heretofore influenced by pop culture’s more glamorous depiction of its true nature.

Furthermore, the not-so-subtle commentary that Prisk proffers on the Vietnam War – and such conflicts in general – ultimately proves to be quite difficult to rebut. Equally tinged with humor and gravitas, Digger Dogface… is an intellegent, insightful take on a pivotal time in world history that will never be forgotten. A highly recommended, enlightening read.
