A Soldier's Story is about a boy, who became a man, then a hero in a very short time due to the events in the world during the prime of his life, when the world was at war. "As a rule, a good non-fictional piece is not just a record of cold expository facts but is also spiced up by interesting narratives and vivid description. After reading this book, 'A Soldier's Story' by Dr. Jaime I. Romero, one is not only informed about a crucial period in our history but is also entertained. The book is therefore both pleasurable and informative, rewarding reading as well as creative in its clear, vigorous style, that quality in writing which makes it more than just comprehensible." Dr. Ophelia A. Dimalanta, University of Santo Tomas Writer-in-Residence Foreword "I am delighted to know that the life of valor of my friend, Gen. Tagumpay "Nanie" Nanadiego, has finally been immortalized in this memorable book by Professor Jaime I. Romero. I have known Nanie as a comrade-in-arms since the Korean War, when we served as officers of the 2nd Battalion Combat Team, Philippine Expeditionary Force to Korea (20th BCT, PEFTOK) in 1952. Our friendship and respect for each other has endured through all these years. He is not only a brave soldier, a brilliant lawyer, a loving father and good husband, but above all, a fighter for justice and the rule of law. I hope this book will serve as a testament to a true patriot, and inspire other Filipinos to emulate a life of distinguished public service such as what General Nanadiego has exhibited. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Professor Romero's fast-paced narration, filled with historical and anecdotal events about the Second World War, the Korean War, the Martial Law period, and recent development in the Philippines. Jimmy Romero is not only a readable writer, he is also known as an excellent speaker and an efficient school administrator. His books have wings that can carry one back to the war years when boys became men, and men became heroes. Mabuhay, and congratulations to both the author and subject of this exemplary book!" Fidel V. Ramos, former President of the Philippines
