A must read for those interested in military historyBy w38_55This book is a great story of the daily life of a single soldier's (Mr. Justice) time in Korea. It is not a blood and guts dime fiction novel and it's not a dry history lesson. I just couldn't put this book down. The book truly makes you feel the experience of being there. A few times I left the house after reading and just expected it to be cold outside; september in Houston is never cold. There are a number of photos that really helped visualize what I was reading. I recommend looking through all of the photographs first so you can put faces to the names as you read the book. I would think this is a must read for anyone interested in military history; anyone who was there or anyone who had family there. Thanks to God for letting this man survive and giving him the courage to write his story.3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. PATROTISM IN THE MOST DYNAMIC WAYBy MAMIE ALLENMERELY WRITING THIS BOOK WOULD BE MORE COURAGEOUS THAN I COULD BEAR. LIVING IT?? AT A TIME IN THE USA WHEN ALL ENJOYED A CARE FREE LIFESTYLE; IT SHOULD HUMBLE ALL OF US WHO DID NOT SERVE OUR COUNTRY. BUY THIS BOOK AND YOU'LL HATE THE TIME YOU ARE NOT BEING ABLE TO COMPLETE READING IT. I BOUGHT THREE ADDITIONAL BOOKS AS GIFTS FOR MY RELATIVES AND THEY COMMENDED ME AS THEY TOO; DID NOT WANT TO PUT IT DOWN. PERSONALLY; I THINK IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY FOR EACH NEW U.S. CITIZEN TO READ "GEORGE" TO BETTER APPRECIATE WHAT OUR SOLDIERS HAVE DONE FOR OUR RIGHT FOR THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS; LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.......3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. The Best BookBy William MorrisonIf you are seeking a book that will make you feel all warm and cozy while you get ready for bed... this isn't for you!! If you like real life experiences; intense action; and actual historical facts then this is all you need. I have read this book very intently and it will definatly keep you on the edge of your seat. I believe that you will recieve something very special from this book; an understanding of something much larger than a date in history. Perhaps a newfound respect for those brave men who faught in this War and the initiative to make sure that their memory is not forgotten.I love ya Grandaddy. We'll Get That Coffee Soon.
