O knihe
There was a time when U.S. Army uniforms were olive drab with brown shoes, the overcoat was called a horse blanket, and everyone knew that the "first hundred years were the hardest." Author Larry Fred Moore takes us behind the scenes of the U.S. Army with this collection of real-life stories from those who survived their time spent serving America.
From the harassed main character in "The Scapegoat" to the blooming romance in "The Atlanta Princess," Tales of the Brown Shoe Army accurately reflects the sometimes harsh reality of army life from 1948 to 1956. Moore reveals the thoughts and feelings of average soldiers from Camp Pickett, Virginia; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Fort Bliss, Texas; and Yucca Flats, Nevada; as well as Korea and Japan. Infidelity, guilt, fear, heroism, and alcoholism are only a few of the subjects that Moore tackles.
Those who lived through post-World War II and the beginning of the Cold War will appreciate Moore's honest portrayal of this time in history. Tales of the Brown Shoe Army accurately depicts the honorable duty of serving the United States both in war and in peace.
