"THE MAGNIFICENT BASTARDS is a story of rice-paddy combat with all the warts on. It is real and gripping, and has the smell of gunsmoke."
--Lt. Gen Victor H. Krulak, USMC (Ret)
"THE MAGNIFICENT BASTARDS is superb. Nolan has skillfully woven operational records and oral history into a fascinating narrative that puts the reader in the thick of the action. His depiction of small-unit infantry combat places THE MAGNIFICENT BASTARDS among the best writing on the Vietnam War."
--Jon T. Hoffman (author of Chesty)
