Description:
From the orange groves in Florida in the 1940s to the U.S. Army in the 1950s through the 1980s, J. Paul Montgomery fought prejudice for being a dark-com-plexioned black man, even within his own family. His U.S. Army service in communications/ operations and recruitment took him from Florida to Hawaii, Thailand, Germany, Vietnam and Korca, as well as several stateside army posts-a career that eventually ended with a diagnosis of depression and post-traumatic stress. This book details his exploits, musings and heart- aches as he makes his journey through a fascinating life.
