Retired General Jesse Allen saw it all in his military career. An army jeep driver in the U.S. Army Air Corps serving General Patton's Third Army in World War II, an air force fighter pilot in Korea, and a fighter squadron commander in Vietnam, Allen held every rank from private to two-star general. A cultural history as well as a memoir, From Jeep Driver to General reveals an insider's perspective of the U.S. military during some of its most significant triumphs and failures. General Allen offers his insights on racial divides in the military, the policy decisions that led to the loss of thousands of American lives in Korea and Vietnam, and a number of Cold War standoffs with Russian interests around the world. As an operations officer in Tactical Air Command, General Allen was even part of a team tasked with outlining plans to invade Cuba in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Written with candor, directness, and the bravado of a fighter pilot, From Jeep Driver to General tells the story of a man from humble beginnings who rose to the highest ranks of the greatest military in the world. General Allen had a front-row seat at events that never made it to the newspapers or history books. The general recounts these events in vivid detail as he provides a window into contemporary American history.
