About This Book

Vietnam War enemies find reconciliation in this "sterling sequel" to the #1 New York Times–bestselling memoir We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young ( Publishers Weekly, starred review). In their classic memoir, Lt. Gen. Harold Moore and journalist Joseph L. Galloway brought to life one of the most pivotal and heartbreaking battles of the Vietnam War. Now the co-authors bring readers up to date on the cadre of soldiers introduced in their first book. Returning to Vietnam's Ia Drang Valley more than four decades after the battle, Moore and Galloway renew their relationships with ten American veterans of the fabled conflict—and with former adversaries—exploring how the war changed them all, as well as their two countries. We Are Soldiers Still is an emotional journey back to hallowed ground, putting a human face on warfare as the authors reflect on war's devastating cost. The book includes an Introduction by Gen H. Norman Schwarzkopf.

Harold G. Moore

Harold Gregory Moore Jr. (February 13, 1922 – February 10, 2017) was a United States Army lieutenant general and author. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the U.S. military's second-highest decoration for valor, and was the first of his West Point class (1945) to be promoted to brigadier general, major general, and lieutenant general. Moore is remembered as the lieutenant colonel in command of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, at the Battle of Ia Drang in 1965, during the Vietnam War. The battle was detailed in the 1992 bestseller *We Were Soldiers Once… and Young*, co-authored by Moore and made into the film *We Were Soldiers* in 2002, which starred Mel Gibson as Moore; Moore was the "honorary colonel" of the regiment. Moore was awarded the Order of Saint Maurice by the National Infantry Association as well as the Distinguished Graduate Award by the West Point Association of Graduates. **Source**: Hal Moore on Wikipedia.
