Joseph L. Galloway served four tours as a war correspondent in Vietnam and twenty years as a senior editor and writer for U.S. News & World Report. He is coauthor, with the late Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, of We Were Soldiers Once and Young, a New York Times bestseller and the basis of the film starring Mel Gibson, and of the bestselling sequel, We Are Soldiers Still. Galloway was decorated with a Bronze Star Medal, the only medal of valor the U.S. Army awarded to a civilian in the Vietnam War. He lives in Concord, NC, with his wife, Dr. Grace Liem Galloway.
“It would be a monumental task for Moore and Galloway to top their
classic 1992 memoir, We Were Soldiers Once...and Young. But they
come close in this sterling sequel...This book proves again that
Moore is an exceptionally thoughtful, compassionate and courageous
leader and a strong voice for reconciliation and for honoring the
men with whom he served.”
*Publishers Weekly(starred
review)*
“An emotional follow-up to military lifer Moore and reporter
Galloway’s intense 1992 telling of the Vietnam War’s first major
battle between American and North Vietnamese troops. This time, the
two, along with other American survivors of the fight, revisit the
Ia Drang valley, scene of the bloody 1965 battle—accompanied by the
Communist commanders and soldiers who were trying to kill
them.”
*New York Post*
“A worthy and wise successor to one of the best books ever about
combat in Vietnam.”
*Kirkus Reviews*
“We Are Soldiers Still tells the recent story of how Moore and
Galloway organized meetings with the Vietnamese commanders they’d
fought against so fiercely. . . . There is honor and a measure of
military glory in the retelling and in the reunion.”
*Christian Science Monitor*
“Bookstores are filled with rows of books on leadership and
management, but We Are Soldiers Still stands over the rest. Words
like riveting and compelling hardly do the book justice...Moore’s
reflections on leadership alone make this book worth its purchase
price...Moore and Galloway’s latest volume is a moving tribute to
the American soldier.”
*Army magazine*
"A moving testimonial. . . .The memoir poignantly addresses the
blindness of war and the compensatory urgings of the heart to be
human."
*Rocky Mountain News*
