The Proud Bastards

The Proud Bastards
By E. Michael Helms
Simon & Schuster/Pocket Books
A Selection of the Military Book Club
Helms’ staccato AK-47 style delivery works well in this fast moving, hard hitting, no excuses journal of one man’s Marine Corps experience. . . . a story told from the heart as well as the gut.
– The Fallon Review
The Proud Bastards takes you for a jarring ride on an emotional roller coaster. . . . An agonizing, emotional read that merits your attention. . . . The Red Badge of Courage of the Vietnam War.
– The American Veteran
Very realistic! You see, hear, smell and feel the Vietnam experience. Will have a major impact on its readers. A story highly recommended!
