Cold War

His memoir speaks of sage leadership advice from mentors and commanders, the tough and spartan living conditions he and his family often had to occupy, and the unique challenges that came with command in an overseas billet during the Cold War. Another interesting aspect of this book are the abundant stories about training while in Europe and the challenges faced by his fellow soldiers. Some of these challenges involved training areas littered with hidden remnants from past wars, making for dangerous conditions that compounded the nature of the threat they were training against.
