The local NPR station had an hour where they read a from book each day. If you listened every day, you heard the whole thing. My father was a CPO in the Navy in WWII and the Korean Conflict (which he says felt a LOT like war) and thus have an interest in these stories. Since I was a kid during the years this book covers, it was a remarkable chance to see inside the stories that the media didn't share. It was great to learn of honor and faith in a time when all that was decried and protested. I might have to get a copy and read that again.
