Bragg offers a vivid portrait of the peacetime Army of the late Fifties and bridges the gap between WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. The main story follows a Jewish second lieutenant, Sy Margolin, trying to succeed in a strict, no nonsense volunteer airborne regiment and two drafted enlisted men, Willie Patterson and Scott Breslin who challenge authority and learn life's hard lessons.

In the end readers will experience a vanished part of American life, meet some unusual personalities, endure spine-chilling adventure, and discover places and feelings they never knew existed.
