ONE TO COUNT CADENCE [First Edition] 1st

The time is the late summer of 1962. The place is Clark Air Force Base in the Philippine Islands. A new sergeant, "Slag" Krummel, arrives from the States to take over the 721st Communication Security Detachment, a collection of dissatisfied, rebellious enlistees. Narrated by Krummel, the book begins as a story of the peacetime Army. Comic, absurd, violent, the book is a mirror of that part of a generation reared on violence. Exploring with fidelity and compassion the men who make war and who are, like all of us, its victims.
