Ranger: A Soldier's Life Book

In this inspiring autobiography, Colonel Ralph Puckett recounts his extraordinary experiences on and off the battlefield. After he returned from Korea, Puckett joined the newly established U.S. Army Ranger Department, serving as an instructor and tactical officer and commanding companies at Fort Benning and the Mountain Camp in north Georgia. He went on to lead companies in Vietnam, train cadets at West Point, and organize the counterinsurgency school in Colombia. Puckett's story is critical reading for soldiers, leaders, military historians, and others interested in the impact of conflict on individual soldiers as well as the military as a whole.
