To say this book is riveting and engrossing is an understatement. If you have ever wondered about the Vietnam War, then Bob Hunt’s book, “One Four Man Up” is the book to read. Bob Hunt was one of the many young men of that era that had manhood thrust upon him. He could have been your brother, son, uncle, or dad. This is a first hand account of the horrors of war and of human achievement despite the obstacles. Every single American, who cares about America, needs to read this book. It is the story of war in a foreign land; the cost should not be measured in dollars, but of the lives of innumerable good men, who sacrificed their own personal comforts for the good of all concerned. The men of this war never got the respect they deserved. They were ridiculed and mistreated, with many, if not all, still suffering mentally, emotionally and physically from the effects of the war. It is no small thing that I have the freedom to write this review; it is because of brave young men and women like Bob, all who have one thing in common – a passion to keep this country safe. Thank you Bob, thank you each and every veteran, and thank you to those who continue to voluntarily fight for the personal freedoms that we so often take for granted. I give a big “thumbs up” to Bob and this long overdue achievement.
