Williams: From Pancho Villa to Vietnam","description":"\u003ci\u003eHanging Sam\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles the life of Lt. General Samuel T. \"Hanging Sam\" Williams, who, after being relieved of his duties as Assistant Division Commander of the 90th Infantry Division and demoted from the rank of brigadier general following the 1944 Normany invasion, persevered to recover not only his lost star but two additional ones as well, an accomplishment unmatched in modern U. S. Army history. Following enlistment in the Texas Militia in 1916 to fight Pancho Villa along the U.S.-Mexican border, Williams served in both World Wars, the Korean War (where he commanded the 25th Infantry Dividion), and Vietnam (where from 1955 to 1960 he was Chief of the U. S. Military Assistance and Advisory Group). Wounded twice in battle, Williams was decorated with every medal for valor the Army awards, except the Medal of Honor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harold Jack Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0929398122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780929398129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.07h x 6.05w x 0.52d","brand":"Harold Jack Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120440340735,"sku":"9780929398129","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c11ff14-9d05-4f11-9eba-77c6105fb7b9.jpg?v=1687414325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hanging-sam-harold-jack-meyer-9780929398129","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
