“A must-read book for any American who wants to understand war and its impact on those we send into close combat.”
A Novel
—General Jim Mattis, USMC (Ret), 26th Secretary of Defense
BY MARK TREANOR
“A great read… For every combat veteran who has dealt with coming home, A Quiet Cadence makes it clear that you are not alone.” —Karl Marlantes, author of Matterhorn; What It Is Like To Go To War; and Deep River “A Quiet Cadence masterfully captures it all.” —Gen. Mike Hagee, USMC, 33rd Commandant of the Marine Corps “This is an extraordinary, honest, and powerful novel. I was immediately captivated by its tone and pace, which carries the reader from the dark heart of the Vietnam combat experience to the harrowing challenges of returning home. On par with classic Vietnam era novels by James Webb and Karl Marlantes in its grit and truthfulness. Highly recommend!” ISBN: 978-1-68247-6505-5 $24.95 | Paperback | FICTION | VIETNAM WAR

—Adm. James Stavridis, USN (Ret.), Dean, The Fletcher School, Tufts University and Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander “A Quiet Cadence is a riveting account of a young Marine’s combat experiences in Vietnam and the indelible effects in its aftermath. Mark Treanor brilliantly captures the physical and emotional trauma of close combat while masterfully weaving in timeless lessons about leadership, courage and camaraderie. Simply put, this is as relevant to veterans today as it was in the 60’s.” —F. C. Wilson, LtGen USMC (Ret.) 12th President, National Defense University
