Warren Gardner MacDonald, USA, is the
author of Mid-Century Warrior: A Soldier's Journey to Korea. According to the
book description, “This is a memoir account of the author's journey from a seventeen-year-old school boy, to a combat
soldier during the Korean War. Reflecting back to the summer of 1950, utilizing his notes, U. S. Army records, and his memory,
he has drawn a picture in words of his movement from the easy-going classroom life of high school, to an infantry-armor trained
combat soldier. He takes you into his family background, and the why of his enlistment, and carries the reader through basic,
advanced training and cadre duties of a 1950's army life. An assignment to a combat infantry regiment in a very hostile environment,
with an enemy and weather that causes heavy casualties, is described in blunt detail. The combat described is real, and from
the point of view of the "grunt" soldier, and not from the high command.”

One reader of Mid-Century
Warrior: A Soldier's Journey to Korea said, “While reviewing the list of Andover (MA) veterans of WWII
and Korea for an interview session, I discovered that Warren G. MacDonald had written a book on his experiences serving in
the Korean War. Obviously I purchased a copy and was extremely pleased with what I read. His command of the English language
is commendable and his writing techniques and capabilities make this a book you don't want to put down until you have finished
it. His descriptions of the action are so vivid, you have no difficulty placing yourself in the center of the action. I would
wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone interested in the Korean conflict or military service in general.”
