Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Scott Sowers delivers a powerful performance that brings Leppelman's experiences to life with precision. The pacing is tight, allowing each account of combat to resonate deeply. However, the frequent use of technical jargon can make some passages feel dense and challenging. Despite this, 'Blood on the Risers' remains an essential listen for anyone seeking honest, first-person narratives from Vietnam. A must-have for military history buffs.
