More DescriptionPegasus Patriot: Soldiers, Situations and Sites is an autobiographical, historical and enigmatical military memoir of a black Chief Warrant Officer (a rare occurrence), who served in the military intelligence branch of the United States Army. This soldier chronicles his first-person account from his induction as an enlistee (almost a draftee) in Little Rock, Arkansas, until his status changed to officer retiree, 22 years and three months later in Fort Hood, Texas. During that period - July 1962 to September 1984 - he described in detail how he helped the United States win the Cold War, including a number of interesting people, places and predicaments he encountered along the way. He described in an interesting way how his roles, responsibilities and incredible opportunities the Army afforded him changed him forever.This book builds seamlessly from the end of the septuagenarian author's first autobiography, Pegasus: The White Man. The Red Horse. The Black Boy. Pegasus is a 1950s retrospective, while Pegasus Patriot is a Cold War retrospective. While not necessary to do so, readers can gain a much deeper interpretation of Pegasus Patriot, if they read Pegasus before or after reading this book. The author writes, "I will always be a United States soldier. I fought in America's longest war - The Cold War (1945 - 1991). Although, I was issued a rifle, I never fought with bullets and bombs. I was trained in hand-to-hand combat, but never served in a combat zone. I am a Vietnam-Era Veteran, but I never fought in Vietnam. I excelled in electronic combat. My battlefield was worldwide - in the ether. My weapons were very special transmitter and receiver systems. I was an electronic intelligence (ELINT) warrior. I was an interceptor, analyst and jammer. I was a military intelligence officer who performed electronic warfare (EW)."
