His second war...

I grew up with Donald Brown in Opp, Ala. We are the same age. His service in the Merchant Marines in WWII somehow left him at a loss for closure, and he thought perhaps a lifetime commitment to the US Army would give him the career he wanted. The four years he spent in the Army, including battle time in Korea, were probably the most intense four years of his life. Donald is not a professional writer, but somehow he has brought not only the fortotten war into focus, he has brought the experience of what it took to survive in the curious world of the military in war time. Difficult as it was, Donald Brown survived, and survives today, by his many strengths, of which he had no idea he possessed. Well, I'm proud of the boy.

A Great Read

A " Great Read" My Korea is a story about a young man trying to find his niche in an unsettled time. From recurit, to officer to Medal Of Honor. The author catches your attention ,then tells his story with humor and compassion. I rated this 5 Star.

Very enjoyable

This is the first book I have found that talked to the reader at ground level, not to high command levels. Very readerable, very enjoyable.

The human side of war

A touching...sometimes humorous...look at the US Army from a small-town boy of the '50's. Not your usual blood and guts action novel, this is the true story of a young man's journey through the Army and into a war...a war our Nation was most comfortable denying. His story is one of becoming a leader, and the people he met along the way. A heart-warming look at the human side of war.

Wonderful Story

Wonderful book in which Mr. Brown shows us a very human side of war. He wrote with humor, compassion, and dignity. Once I started the book, I could not put it down.

Reuben Brown served in the Merchant Marines during World War II. When the Korean War arose, he became a recruit in the Army at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and rose through the ranks by attending and completing Officer Candidate School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Brown was eventually sent to Korea, where he served as an artillery officer. My Korea is his memoir of Army life and war-time life.
