Hal Moore, one of the very most admired American battle market leaders of the previous 50 years, has until now been most widely known to the public to be portrayed by Mel Gibson in the movie We Were Military. With this biography, we finally learn the entire story of 1 of America's true armed forces heroes. A 1945 graduate of Western Point, Moore's first combats occurred through the Korean Warfare, where he fought in the battles of Old Baldy, T-Bone, and Pork Chop Hill. At the start of the Vietnam Warfare, Moore commanded the First Battalion of the Seventh Cavalry in the first full-fledged fight between US and North Vietnamese regulars. Drastically outnumbered and practically overrun, Moore led from the front, and though dropping 79 troops, accounted for 1,200 of the foe before the communists withdrew. This fight pioneered the utilization of "air mobile infantry" - providing troops into fight via helicopter - which became the staple of US operations for the remainder of the warfare. He later composed of his experiences in the best-selling e book We Were Military Once...and Young.
