Semper Cool by Barry Fixler is a memoir of one marine's time before, during, and after the Vietnam War. Fixler's writing style is accessible for all readers, though some who have read a number of military books may find themselves skipping over definitions of terms they already know, which are defined for less experienced military readers. Through clear sentence structure, fast-paced flashbacks, and frankness about boot camp and other aspects of a marine's training, readers get a feel for the grit these men must have to survive boot camp and beyond.
