Little did he know a phone call from California would soon change his life forever, starting him on a journey that would lead him from the peaceful Midwest to wartime Korea and back again. More than a by-the-numbers battle narrative, "Come Along and See" is the highly personal story of one young man's life in those times. At once a classic adventure, a war memoir and a coming-of-age tale, this true accounts offers an unblinking look at life in post-World War II America.
