The Scales Family History (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781665576574)

Since early childhood Major General "Bob" Scales had always wanted to follow in his father's footsteps to be a soldier. His story is an Army story. It tells of three generations of service by a family that, beginning with two World War II officers, spawned six decades of service to the Nation. General Scales and his wife, Diana, have lived through twenty nine military moves, a near death experience in Vietnam, seven year's separation and eleven overseas assignments, to forge a partnership of service very rare in America today. These pages tell in vignette style a piece of military history from early days in the Philippines, through post war Germany, Vietnam and Cold War Europe. Scales' career from West Point cadet to general officer offers a view of military life unique to a culture increasingly forgotten today.
