Items related to Buffalo Bill Remembers: Truth and Courage
This is a collection of anecdotes about Lieutenant General William W. Quinn’s years in the Army, before, during and after World War II and the Korean Conflict. The author shares some of the common experiences that intelligence officers, historians, and veterans of those wars will especially appreciate.
A unique and fascinating aspect of this book details Quinn’s relationship with several of recent history’s most renowned figures, including General McArthur, General Patch, General Patton, Reich Marshal Hermann Goering, Field Marshal von Runstedt, President Ayub Khan of Pakistan, and Barry Goldwater, who wrote the memorable foreword to Buffalo Bill Remembers.
Quinn successfully combines historical fact, human concerns, and an incredible sense of humor to create this frank examination of life in the military. Buffalo Bill Remembers will be thoroughly enjoyed by any reader who is interested in human nature, wartime experiences, and reliving days of excitement and danger, or anyone who just enjoys a good story.
These are stories of a life well-lived, dedicated to a few old-fashioned verities:
- public service is a privilege
- humor is essential
- honor is important
- Army must beat Navy
