An incredible publishing story--written over the course of thirty years by a highly decorated Vietnam veteran, a New York Times best seller for sixteen weeks, a National Indie Next and a USA Today best seller--Matterhorn has been hailed as a "brilliant account of war" (New York Times Book Review). Now out in paperback, Matterhorn is an epic war novel in the tradition of Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead and James Jones's The Thin Red Line. It is the timeless story of a young Marine lieutenant, Waino Mellas, and his comrades in Bravo Company, who are dropped into the mountain jungle of Vietnam as boys and forced to fight their way into manhood. Standing in their way are not merely the North Vietnamese but also monsoon rain and mud, leeches and tigers, disease and malnutrition. Almost as daunting, it turns out, are the obstacles they discover between each other: racial tension, competing ambitions, and duplicitous superior officers. But when the company finds itself surrounded and outnumbered by a massive enemy regiment, the Marines are thrust into the raw and all-consuming terror of combat. The experience will change them forever. Matterhorn is a visceral and spellbinding novel about what it is like to be a young man at war. It is an unforgettable novel that transforms the tragedy of Vietnam into a powerful and universal story of courage, camaraderie, and sacrifice: a parable not only of the war in Vietnam but of all war, and a testament to the redemptive power of literature.Binding Type: Paperback

Comfy, great quality
Size: 6-10, Color: White
I’ve had these for quite a while now. They are holding up very well as i wear them a lot for work (coaching). They are very cushiony and most importantly, they do not slip!
I would compare these to Bombas but at a significantly better price point.

My favorite socks now!
Size: Medium, Color: Deep Sea/Breaker Blue/Electro Pink
I love socks! And these are quickly becoming my favorites! They do not slide down into your shoe no matter if you are working out or just wearing them for normal everyday use. The price is a little higher than I would normally pay for 3 pair of socks, but after wearing these for a few weeks, I think the quality and comfortability of these socks is well worth the money.
