Description: "Cold War Warrior is the memoir of a boy who grew to manhood in the service of his country during the height of the Cold War. As a Russian linguist in the United States Air Force Security Service, Warren Knight bore witness to the construction of the Berlin Wall, the U-2 incident, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and an adversary's Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile test. While manning a high-tech listening post on a remote Far Eastern island, or on a jungle survival course in the Philippines, the author's stories are both compelling and informative and document a chapter in the American saga that was as fraught with genuine peril as any in our history."--Page 4 of cover
