Overview
He never thought he'd be a "lifer"—someone who says in the army forever. He hated the military, was a barroom brawler, and saw his father suffer under the army's rigid caste system. But a "lifer" he became. This is Craig's warts-and-all story: fighting the North Koreans and Chinese along the 38th parallel, fighting the police and MPs just about everywhere, moving on for several years of the secret war in Laos, and finally battling the North Vietnamese and Vietcong. And Bill Craig did it all his way....Here is the fascinating true story of an army brat who hated the army--and became one of its best soldiers. Eventually rising to become a member of the elite Special Forces, Craig offers one of the first true autobiographies of a career enlisted man. Having fought in Korea, Vietnam, and Laos, Craig provides interesting inside information. Original. (Military History)
