"My Cold War Life" is a memoir of a young man growing up in America in the 1960s and 1970s, then serving in the United States Air Force in the late 1970s, '80s, and early '90s. This veteran shares how he was raised and lived during the presidential times of John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. He then served in the military during the Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush. and Bill Clinton administrations through 1994. His life story chronicles competing ideologies that spanned his three decades during the worldwide spread of Marxist-Leninism, socialism, and communism, which emanated from the Soviet Union. It is also a personal time capsule of silent battles in Europe, Asia, and Central and South Americas until the end of the Cold War in 1991, and the follow-on retirements of that era's military aircraft through the mid-1990s.
