Shipped with care. --- Norman J. Fulkerson tells the life of Colonel John W. Ripley in strict chronological order, from his boyhood in Radford, Virginia, to his death in 2008. The early chapters cover his parents, his childhood escapades and his courtship and marriage. The center of the book is Vietnam, above all his destruction of the Dong Ha Bridge in April 1972, when he worked hand over hand along the girders beneath it under enemy fire. Later chapters follow his posting to the Naval Academy, his role as husband and father, and his Catholic faith. The text of his congressional testimony against admitting homosexuals to the military and against women in combat is given in the book, which closes with his two liver transplants. It is illustrated with photographs, and each chapter opens with a quotation. Signed by Author. …

Condizione: Sehr gut. First Edition. 15 x 22 cm. X, 203 pages. Original Hardcover. Very good condition with minor signs of external wear. Signed by the author on the half title. John Walter Ripley (June 29, 1939 October 28, 2008) was a United States Marine Corps officer who received the Navy Cross for his actions in combat during the Vietnam War. On Easter morning 1972, Captain Ripley repeatedly exposed himself to intense enemy fire over a three-hour period as he prepared to blow up an essential bridge in Dong Ha. His actions significantly hampered the North Vietnamese Army's advance into South Vietnam. The story of "Ripley at the Bridge" is legendary in the Marine Corps and is captured in a gripping diorama at the United States Naval Academy. The book "Bridge at Dong Ha" by John Grider Miller is required reading for Naval Academy plebes. On October 28, 2009, the first biography about Col. Ripley was published. It was written by Norman Fulkerson and is titled An American Knight, The Life of Col. John W. Ripley. (Wikipedia).…
