He is a World War II veteran who served in the Army of Occupation in Germany before devoting ten years designing new artillery for the US Army that was pivotal in both the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. As an analyst for the RAND Corporation, he then spent a year in Vietnam working on issues critical to the war. He was a confidant of one of the book’s heroic characters, Ted Serong, and had met the other, John Paul Vann. His views about the war are timely and worth pondering.view less
