Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - James S. Oliver grew up on the southern Philippine Island of Mindanao-hiding from World War II aggressors with his Filipino mother and three siblings.He did not know it then, but war would become a constant in his life, even after he moved to the United States. He'd graduate from college and become an officer in the US Air Force, where he'd spend the next twenty-four years.During the Cold War with Soviet Russia, he specialized in intercontinental ballistic missile operations and maintenance, and was selected for Special Forces training at Fort Bragg.Then he joined a controversial, top secret Provincial Advisory Group Team for one year, operating out of Bao Trai, Hau Nghia, a former province in South Vietnam, where an all-new war was underway. He'd retire in 1984 as commander of the Ninetieth Organizational Missile Maintenance Squadron (90 OMMS), an ICBM maintenance squadron of the Strategic Air Command.Despite numerous challenges, the author maintained his faith in humanity, and you'll be inspired by the years of devoted service he highlights in My Wars and In Between.

I hoped for something much more exciting. It was only anti-cock-sure-Schafer. If he had got in to Spooks earlier & told us a bit more about them & their unscientific ways it wd. have been more entertaining at any rate. He regrets that 'we dont have Harcourt in that Sub-Cttee & as he cannot be elected till May, I suppose he can't be got in anyhow'. He thinks it will be 'interesting to see if Lord R. will turn up at any of the meetings after all the fuss or if he will continue to bury himself as of yore.' He reports that 'Floods have been tremendous in parts of this Province & Southern Railway had no end of a bother.' He still thinks 'Centrals are the best but Pacifics about 70 must be a good buy. Commercially things are bad in B[uenos]. A[ires]. a depression after the book of a good many years.' He concludes with a comment on mortgages and interest.
