On November 25, 1950, during one of the toughest battles of the
Korean War, the US Eighth Army Ranger Company seized and held the
strategically important Hill 205 overlooking the Chongchon River.
Separated by more than a mile from the nearest friendly unit,
fifty-one soldiers fought several hundred Chinese attackers. Their
commander, Lieutenant Ralph Puckett, was wounded three times before
he was evacuated. For his actions, he received the country's
second-highest award for courage on the battlefield -- the
Distinguished Service Cross -- and resumed active duty later that
year as a living legend. 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 US Army Ranger Department, serving as an instructor and
tactical officer, and commanding companies at Fort Benning and in
the Ranger Mountain Camp in north Georgia. He went on to lead
companies in Vietnam, train cadets at West Point, and organize the
Escuela de Lancero leadership course 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.
