A Young Soldier's Memoirs
My One Year Growing Up in 1965 Korea
Julio A. Martinez
The pages of this book vividly conjure up the sights and smells and sounds of Martinez's adventures in Korea. He enthusiastically spent every free moment traveling everywhere, taking hundreds of photographs, teaching himself to speak, read, and write the language. Nothing escaped his youthful eyes, from ancient temples to rice planting and harvesting to little known facets of the country's rich 5,000 year old culture. His exuberance with each of his discoveries is faithfully recorded, as are the familiar things we all felt homesickness and fear, camaraderie and purpose. If you want to see the Korea of forty-five years ago through the bright eyes of a nineteen-year old soldier from Texas with a truly remarkable memory for every detail, this is the best way to do it. William Roskey, Author of MUFFLED SHOTS: A Year on the DMZ
