Lewis B. Puller, Jr.'s training as an officer comes through loud and clear in his prose. His manner of writing is similar to the military reports for which he, as an officer, was responsible for creating on a regular basis. His prose is succinct, accurate, and precise. Even the direst situations are described with clarity and exactness in the book, allowing readers to form their own opinions based on the facts the author so faithfully records.
