B. A. R. MAN Browning Automatic Rifle Man

MWSA Review

MWSA William Gilbert was the B.A.R. Man, not unique, not the only one. But his compelling story told to Clyde Hoch will have you turning pages until you reach the end.

His experiences were many and varied, his capture and subsequent release years later will have you asking why? Why or how can America treat a POW different than any hero. A 200 mile march, unbelievable living conditions at the hands of the North Koreans, Chinese and Russians is part of the Korean War not often told, most often whispered. If history interests you read Gilberts story, place yourself in his shoes as best you can and then thank him and all those that were POW's or are still listed as MIA.
