"A vivid description of the Korean War as seen through the eyes of those who fought there. . . .

The Retired Officer Magazine

"Those who survived the fighting and dying speak for themselves. . . . The gritty takes Tomedi compiled on a so-called 'forgotten' war pack a real wallop." Kirkus Reviews

"The oral testimonies here clearly convey what the war in Korea was like and how it differed from WWII and Vietnam." Publishers Weekly

"No Bugles, No Drums will be a valuable addition to the military library of any student of history." Pointer View, U.S. Military Academy at West Point

NO BUGLES, NO DRUMS

In the foxholes and atop the fiery hilltops of Korea, men confronted the savage, all-too-human face of war. They were young, valiant, and largely forgotten by a public weary of waiting for victory. Sent halfway around the world, they were ordered to fight an enemy they didn't know, for political objectives they didn't understand. But they did their job and served their nation well. And now, forty years later, their story can be told.
