The author, Roger K. Miller, is a longtime newspaperman. He was inspired to write the novel, which took years of research and interviewing, by the life and death of his wife's cousin, James E. Williams, originally of Bedford County, Pa., but who entered the Army in Albany, N.Y., in August 1950. The hero of the novel is called Tim Davis.
Besides being a novel about the "Forgotten War," it is also a coming-of-age tale in postwar America in the 1940s and '50s, when work was plentiful, cars were shiny and the magic of television had just lit up the living room.
