Warrior...by Choice...by Chance

At seventeen Jack leads a rifle squad and, later, a rifle platoon in some of the worst figting in the Southwest Pacific Area. You will marvel at extra ordinary events. You will experience his grief as comrades and companions are wounded, killed and lost to the Japanese, Korean and Chinese enemy. Then you will rejoice with him in his successes, in the deep friendships that come his way; and for a loving, praying girl he marries, and a Savior he knows. His brief stay as a POW to the Chinese will wrench your heart.

Jack was my battalion S-2 sergeant. His narrative of events describe the frustration & problems faced by units poorly prepared for fighting an enemy we couldn''t understand. It's a must read for the untrained as well as the professional soldier.
