Summary: Interesting but...
Review: The West Point Class of 1950 gained the distinction of being known as a war class like the Classes of 1846, 1861, 1917, 1941 and 1966. Barely a fortnight after graduation, the Korean War broke out and many of the Class of 50 were sent over there with very little unit or branch training which may have contributed to the 41 members the Class lost. Cold Warriors is an interesting book that reveals more about this remarkable class which included 3 Chiefs of Staffs of the Army, Air Force and Phillipine Army as well as other four star generals and astronaut Frank Borman. My main complaint about the book is there is very little about life at the Academy and the training, the Class received. A full bibliography would have been good but all in all, it is an interesting read about a fascinating group of American soldiers.
