Kelley Barracks R Michaels

This novel is a captivating personal account of an Army journalist stationed at VII Corps Headquarters, Stuttgart, West Germany, 1973-1975. Reeves Michaels is the narrator who describes in effective detail his three years in the Army: Basic Training at Ft. Jackson, SC; military journalism training at Ft. Benjamin Harrison; and then editor of the VII Corps newspaper, The Hawk. Unlike most military novels, it does not focus on the typical war-related field experiences of Army soldiers, but rather on the day-to-day experiences of an educated Army journalist who experiences military life in a European setting.
