I was particularly interested in Singlaub's account of the 1976 Panmunjom Ax Murders, so as I was reading this book I was focused on that chapter. Overall, the book was a good read, especially if you are interested in military history from World War II to the 1980s.

4+ stars. A most interesting autobiography from one of America's most experienced unconventional warriors.

Excellent book detailing both Kinetic & Cold War history from the viewpoint of a Special Forces operator, command officer and Major General during his military career spanning WWII to 1977 as Chief of Staff of U.S. Forces in South Korea. John K. Singlaub was a true American Patriot who best represents honor & duty in fighting Communist aggression during his many years of duty to America!

Voluptas pariatur vitae corrupti vel. Mollitia et ut voluptas saepe odit minus. Sit dolor quos non et voluptatibus laborum molestiae.

Confirmed my gut feelings of many of the individuals he had personal contact with. Especially Jimmy Carter.
