Men in Green Faces Gene Wentz B Abell Jurus Books

Over the years I read numerous U.S. NAVY SEAL books both non-fiction and fiction. This fantastic book (Men in Green Faces: A novel of U.S. Navy SEALS BY Gene Wentz and B. Abell Jurus) is the first fiction novel I have read on the SEAL combat operations in Vietnam.

This is not a novel for the meek. The brutality of the Vietnam War is told with hard and realistic scenes in this book. The role the U.S. Navy SEALS played in that war is exposed in this book even though it is a novel. It was written by someone who has “been there and done that” and pulls no punches in this realistic depiction of the operations the SEALS were involved in Vietnam.

The personalities of each of the characters was well developed and the inner thoughts of these amazing warriors came out in this book, showing the tremendous pressure these SEALs were under completing so many missions on the dangerous waterways in Vietnam.

This short review cannot do this book justice. It is sad at times, but these brave and unique warriors loyalty to each other and the U.S. Navy SEAL traditions is fully told in this action packed wonderful novel.

If you are interested the true American Navy SEAL’s role and operations in the Vietnam War this book is a must read.

Men in Green Faces Gene Wentz B Abell Jurus Books Reviews

I have read many books on the Navy Seals in action, but this by far the very best I have ever read. Tons of action and suspense filling almost every page of this book. Thanks for the exciting time. I could not put this book down once I started it. This is the best book you have written. Keep up the great work. I highly recommend this book to all your readers..
If you are into covert operations then this is the book for you. This covers it all from the warning order. planning, communications, everything. There is enough detail that you feel you are in the action and find yourself wondering what if. The author also provides the personnel moments when team members in relaxed moments reflect on home and team members lost. an absolutely good read, probably one the best books I've read on the Viet-Nam war.
It's an easy read, keeps you interested. I would recommend it unless you are looking historical info. What I liked is that it wasn't a whole lot of charts or maps or ten different location with names you can't pronounce so you can actually get a feel for what they are doing. Stays with the same core of guys too. Some of these types of books had so many players in them and different agencies that it is hard to keep them straight. Funny to see how the old timers did it as opposed to the newer generation.
This is a book that will keep you at the edge of your seat. Well written, by a man who has " been there-done that". Thank you and God bless you to all who have worn the Navy Seal Trident, and to their families.
I don't normally write book reviews, but I read a ton of military/history books, and this has to be one of my all-time favorites. I couldn't put it down! It was a fast-paced, action-packed, personal account of Gene's experience with his team as Navy SEALs in Vietnam. It was well-written to the point that you felt you were right there in the action with these guys. There were some light-hearted moments, but thankfully no flowery stuff. Having grown up in the 70s as a kid, I really don't know much about the Vietnam War, and I feel like this book has given me some perspective. A great read, and highly recommended.
I found out about this book from reading Mark Owen's 'No Easy Day'. This book, 'Men in Green Faces' covers the exploits of author Gene Wentz (pseudonym?) and an early generation of Navy Seals as they served during the Vietnam War. Wentz’s description of the battles fought and the missions completed will keep you turning page after page. While he uses a lot of abbreviations and aacronyms to describe gear, military hardware and tactics, the description of the fight scenes and the escape and evasion events are riveting. Gene does a great job of describing the psychological pressures and physical demands that the Seals went thru during the course of their tours In Country. What was especially surprising was the bond that Gene and other Seals formed with the Vietnamese people they protected or fought alongside of. The time clock accelerates on their missions as they have very little time to prepare for one and have limited intelligence beforehand before committing to battle. There are several situations where Gene describes how he and his fellow Seals remain undetected while less than a few yards from the enemy. Truly an amazing war story.
He was my instructor & proctor in class 97. He was like a cooler operator and better looking than James Bond. He was like Captain America, Sgt. Rock, Sgt. Fury and James Bond all rolled into one! He was a true war hero! Navy Karate Champion (as I recall almost 40 years later) was on the U.S. Navy Olympic Bobsled team.
He did the nicest thing for us after a particularly hard day and night before in the mudflats from the Tijuana River. First though we paddled our IBS from Coronado, then because The Tijuana Sloughs was breaking about a mile out to sea, the waves had to be 15-20 ft. we paddled around and outside of the break and then dropped in! Lordy!
Anyway a few days later we're still there, in the cold mud it was January with unseasonably cold weather.
So before the Sunset he marched us upriver to where the clean water was coming in from the high tide. We had to take off our greens, clean and use them to clean the boats, too (IBS), then our instructors and GMG2 Gene Wentz checked us for leeches, we cleaned our greens, wrung them out got dressed. The whole time I kept my eye on the incredible waves breaking almost a mile out to sea as the Sunset! Google it Tijuana Sloughs big waves, aerial view!
So we're standing there after getting dressed in our wet but wrung out greens all facing the spectacular sunset, and Instructor Wentz whipped out his pack of Marlboro 100's and passed them around to all who wanted one or needed one and we smoked those cigarettes and watched the Sunset!
It just seemed incredibly kind to me then and still.
Over the years I read numerous U.S. NAVY SEAL books both non-fiction and fiction. This fantastic book (Men in Green Faces A novel of U.S. Navy SEALS BY Gene Wentz and B. Abell Jurus) is the first fiction novel I have read on the SEAL combat operations in Vietnam.
