About This Item
(Chogie, Clarksville, TN, 1982). Octavo. 215 pages; Buck is the story of a young 16 year old soldier in Korea who by age18 was a combat veteran and then a P.O.W. Growing up as a sharecropper without schooling, the recruiting Sergeant taught him to write his name so he could be enlisted. He was a graduate of "Olde Pusan U" while technically fiction it was based on the memories of Raymond L. "Doc" Frazier. In a review of the book, William K. Cooper, Forward Observer of the Second Division says: "These 'Dogface Warriors' have my undying respect. They did it. They hung tough." Bound in blue cloth, spine lettering gilt, in a very good pictorial dust jacket with a few tiny holes to rear fold, only very minor wear to spine ends.
