- Summary
- "In describing the war in Korea, in which I participated for a year, I present certain historical information along with my combat experiences. In addition, I review the battles fought in Korean trenches, the trench construction, the success of racial integration within the U.S. Army, and th difficulty of commanding an infantry company in combat. Most important, I report on my transition from a bloody combat environment to a civilian world"--Page xiv.
