"Bill Jones' memoir of the Vietnam War, The Body Burning Detail , conveys the naiveté, the fear, the rage, the black humor of a young Marine's tour of duty in Vietnam. This is a real marine story. No glory, and a healthy dose of guts. One hell of a read."--Ken Rodgers, USMC, author, filmmaker, and survivor of the Siege of Khe Sanh; "True to himself, and to all of us who lived through the Vietnam War, Bill Jones balances terror and futility with the keen and introspective eye of a combat Marine. This is no fairy tale...it's real, honest and profane, as all wars are, an enlightening read for anyone who cares about humanity."--John Dofflemeyer, Dry Crik Review ; "This book will be embraced and savored. It is one hell of a ride."--C.J. (Caroline Joy) Hadley, publisher/editor of RANGE magazi≠"Not sure the world is ready for yet one more movie about Vietnam but this book would make an excellent subject. I could not put it down."--Bill Sniffin, author and publisher, Lander, Wyoming., ; "This book will be embraced and savored. It is one hell of a ride."--C.J. (Caroline Joy) Hadley, publisher/editor of RANGE magazine, "The poignant autobiography of Bill Jones that recount his hair-raising experiences as a young, but not especially gung-ho Marine artilleryman in Vietnam. Gritty and disturbing, his unvarnished narrative probes the lasting physical and emotional wounds of war and offers a combat veteran's wry insight into the influence and relevance of America's long and indecisive misadventure. An extraordinary and inherently riveting read from beginning to end...will prove to be an enduring valued contribution to the growing body of Vietnam War literature. Very highly recommended."-- Midwest Book Review ; "[Jones] presents an informative and thought provoking account about war's effect on his generation"-- VVA Veteran ; "Jones presents a memoir of his experiences as a Marine artilleryman in the Vietnam War.
