"As an historian of West Point, I found it deeply moving. It is an important contribution to the historical record of West Pointers in American history, as well as to the history of the military academy. This is one of those rare books about a war by a thoughtful soldier who was there-and has the literary ability to bring the experience alive in all its complexity. The boredom, the confusion, the heroism, the pathos of the Korean War live in these pages. No aficionado of military history should miss this book."--Thomas Fleming, author of West Point: The Men and Times of the U.S. Military Academy, The Officers' Wives, and My Country Tis of Thee (HarperCollins, due out in spring 1994)Maihafer, Harry J. is the author of 'From the Hudson to the Yalu West Point '49 in the Korean War' with ISBN 9780890965542 and ISBN 0890965544.
