Fifty years after America’s involvement in the Korean War began; Richard E. Mack’s memories of his time spent on the front lines are still strong and clear. In Memoir of a Cold War Soldier; he recalls his service in front-line combat infantry units in Korea and Vietnam as rifle platoon leader; adviser; and battalion commander. His accounts; perceptions; and observations of the military culture are incisive and candid. He discusses the tasks and challenges army platoon leaders faced in Korea; the problems and concerns battalion commanders confronted in Vietnam; and the uncertainty facing all soldiers during the Cold War. This book will be of special interest to those who served in Korea and Vietnam; but anyone with an interest in military culture and history will find Memoir of a Cold War Soldier a valuable source.
