A Medal of Honor recipient looks back at his own service in the Vietnam Warâ"and ahead to America's future. Jack Jacobs was acting as an advisor to the South Vietnamese when he and his men came under devastating attack. Wounded, 1st Lt. Jacobs took command and withdrew the unit, returning again and again, saving fourteen livesâ"for which he received the Medal of Honor. Here, Col. Jacobs tells his stirring story of heroism, honor, and the personal code by which he has lived his life, and expounds with blunt honesty and insight his views on our contemporary world, and the nature and necessity of sacrifice. If Not Now, When? is a compelling account of a unique life at both war and peace, and the all-too-often unexamined role of the citizenry in the service and defense of the Republic. Jack Howard Jacobs (born August 2, 1945) is a retired colonel in the United States Army and a Medal of Honor recipient for his actions during the Vietnam War. He serves as a military analyst for NBC News and MSNBC and previously worked as an investment manager. Douglas Century (born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada) is a Canadian-American author and journalist. He was educated at Princeton University. Born a second generation American in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, Jack Jacobs was the quintessential common man - until he left college and found himself thrust into the chaos of combat in Vietnam. There, Jacob's true nature would reveal itself in a crucible of battle and bloodshed. Acting as an advisor to a South Vietnamese infantry battalion, Jacobs was with his men when they were caught in a devastating ambush, and the commander was wounded. Though severely injured, First Lieutenant Jacobs took command and withdrew the unit to safety. He then returned again and again under intense fire, saving the lives of a U.S. advisor and thirteen allied soldiers. For his "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty," Colonel Jacobs received the nation's highest military award, the Medal of Honor. Here Colonel Jack Jacobs tell his story of honor and the personal code by which he has lived his life. He also expounds with blunt honesty and keen insight his views on our contemporary world - including the "War on Terror" and the dreadful mismanagement of the war in Iraq. And, most important, the nature and necessity of sacrifice is explored. For even though America's fighting men and women risk everything on a daily basis, the idea of serving one's country has seemingly become obsolete. If Not Now, When? is an account of a unique life at both war and peace, and the all-too-often unexamined role of the citizenry in the service and defense of the Republic.
