Eight American military veterans of the Vietnam/Cold War era describe their service and its influence on their lives. Their service is shaped by the history of America's raising of its military forces with particular emphasis on the use of mandatory military service (the draft, Selective Service) in 191718 and 194073. The final chapter provides the authors' reflections on the challenges facing the American military in the third decade of the twenty-first century and the possibility of a return to drafted military service after a half century of an All-Volunteer Force.

Reviews for Military Memories: Draft Era Veterans Recall their Service

""Military Memories is an excellent overview of the history and future of America’s military actions in raising force structure with a focus on mandatory military service (the Draft). The eight contributing military veterans' descriptions of the influences of military service on their subsequent lives highlights the book"".— Major General John Libby, retired as the Adjutant General of the Maine National Guard in 2014. “In Military Memories, Donald Zillman has assembled a group of eight highly skilled veterans who provide great insight not only on the times and circumstances of their military service, but offer their personal perspectives on why military service or some form of national public service is in the nation’s best interests. Extremely well written, comprehensive without academic density, this is a must-read for all Americans, but especially for our elected leaders who have the Constitutional duty to raise and support an army to protect our nation’s security”— William S. Cohen, Former Secretary of Defense.
