Summary

Finalist for Book of the Year Military Autobiography in 2015 and Nominated for Best First Book of the Year in 2016

A gripping, true story told from the front lines as the world faced the possibility of nuclear war

This is a personal account of military service and the historical events that were happening during President Reagan's time in office as the world faced the possibility of nuclear war. The author was in the US Army from November 1980 until March 1988 which coincided with President Reagan's time in office. He quickly went from a naive 17-year-old boy to a dedicated die hard soldier ready to sacrifice his life for his country.

An assignment that likely would have been at ground zero of a nuclear war.

On the verge of World War 3 and nuclear war, We Were Soldiers Too is about the difficult job of serving in the infantry during a very critical time of the Cold War. 

Serving as the first line of defense for a Soviet invasion in Germany, he found himself assigned the responsibility of defending an area in the Fulda Gap with only one objective, to hold the advancing Soviets until reinforcements arrived.

Listen to what other veterans think of We Were Soldiers Too.

"An excellent illustration of the lives and sacrifices of our Cold War enlisted service members. I recommend it to all. It brings back memories of those days and what we did during that era." (Edward A. Chesky)

"I highly recommend this for anyone to read, especially for anyone that has served this great Nation. I suspect that my fellow Cold War Veterans will be able to relate to a lot of what this author writes about." (Tracy A Stephens)

"An excellent book about those men who served during the Cold War. Excellent insight into how the Army prepared for a possible Soviet invasion. I highly recommend this book." (Gary E. Earls)

"I too am a Cold War Reagan Soldier and I enjoyed this book very much. I think Bob did a great job by putting in writing how we all feel. We were highly trained and ready to meet any challenge and subdue any threat. We were part of the strongest army in the history of the United States. We were and still are soldiers. I am proud to have served with such fine members of the military." (Curtis Nazelrod)
