About this product

Product Information

GUNS UP! was the battle cry that sent machine gunners racing forward with the M60s to mow down the enemy, hoping that this wasn't the day they would meet their deaths. Marine Johnnie Clark heard that the life expectancy of a machine gunner in Vietnam was seven to ten seconds after a firefight began. Johnnie was only eighteen when he got there, at the height of the bloody Tet Offensive at Hue, and he quickly realised the grim statistic held a chilling truth.The Marines who fougth and bled and died were ordinary men, many still teenagers, but he selfless bravery they showed day after day ina nightmarish jungle war made them true heroes. This new edition of GUNS UP! filled with photographs and udated information about those harrowing battles, also contains the real names of these extraordinary wrariors and details of their lives after the war.
