Non-Fiction Memoir
A Medal of Honor recipient looks back at his own
service—and ahead to America’s future.
Jack
Jacobs was acting as an advisor to the South Vietnamese when
he and his men came under devastating attack. Severely
wounded, 1st Lt. Jacobs took command and withdrew the unit,
returning again and again to the site of the attack to
rescue more men, saving the lives of a U.S. advisor and
thirteen Allied soldiers. Col. Jacobs received the nation’s
highest military award, the Medal of Honor.
Here,
with candor, humor, and quiet modesty, Col. Jack Jacobs
tells his stirring story of heroism, honor, and the personal
code by which he has lived his life, and expounds with blunt
honesty and insight his views on our contemporary world, and
the nature and necessity of sacrifice.
If Not
Now, When? is a compelling account of a unique life at
both war and peace, and the all-too-often unexamined role of
the citizenry in the service and defense of the Republic.
