Grown Gray in War

“As an amateur military historian, I found GGIW to be one of the best written books on and about the Corps that I have ever read. While Len Maffioli will serve as the epitome of a Marine Staff NCO, I know, too, that Major “Doc” Norton has done a masterful job of putting Len’s life on paper. The amount of research required by Norton was, no doubt, incredible. Students of the Marine Corps, students of WWII, those who are interested in the POW experience and the Korean War, and those who want to learn about the War in Vietnam, should add this book to their library. My hat is off to MSGvySgt. Maffioli for his heroic service to his country, and to Major Norton for having the wonderful talent of making it all seem so real — from the page to the brain. Whoever said Marines can’t write? Well done.”
