Memoir of a Cold War Soldier
Richard E. Mack
Narrated by Kenneth Lee
Book published by The Kent State University Press
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.
Richard E. Mack is a decorated officer. He retired from the Army after 30 years of service. He has contributed articles to Marine Corps Gazette, Infantry Magazine, Military Review, and Army Aviation Digest.
