The Life and Faith of a True American Hero Lt. General William K. Harrison, Jr. D. Bruce Lockerbie
Harper & Row, Publishers, San Francisco.
"William K. Harrison's remarkable
military career spans four decades that forever changed the country
he served: 1913-1957. In these years we fought three wars, witnessed
the dawning of a new age of weaponry, and found both our society and
ourselves shuddering through profound transformation. And General Harrison lived at the leading edge of his times: Pursuing bandits at the Mexican border. Sketching out a plan that reorganized the army into an effective fighting force in the dark early days of World War II. Battling through France -- and being wounded -- at the forefront of the famed 30th Infantry Division which he personally turned into a crack unit. Facing down his North Korean adversaries in a war of nerves as head of the United Nations delegation to the Korean Military Armistice Conference at Panmunjom. It's all in A Man Under Orders." |
