Hal Moore - A Life in Pictures
The book is the second on Hal Moore by Historian Mike Guardia his first being as co-author with Hal Moore on “Hal Moore on Leadership”.
This is a great photographic biography of Harold G Moore. It spans his childhood in rural Kentucky, West point during the latter part of World War II and military career, in occupied Japan then the Korean conflict.
This is followed by his time in the Vietnam War including his epic command at the Battle of Ia Drang. Which is the story used in the movie We were soldiers once where Hal Moore was played by Mel Gibson. Followed by his peacetime supervising military training.
Mixed in with the whole story is the thread of his loving family which includes his wife and five children.
The book has over 300 color and black & White photographs which are well selected and give a great insight into his life. The text with each photograph give a lot of information and reinforces the whole photo biography.
I recommend this book to everyone with an interest in Hal Moore’s life, the Korean and Vietnam conflicts.
Thanks go to Casemate Publishing for providing this book to review and IPMS USA for allowing me to review it for them
