    UNG Press releases Cold War memoir

    January 12, 2022

    Article By: Staff

    For 15 years, retired Col. Michael D. Mahler commanded the 3rd Armored Division's cavalry squadron at Büdingen, Germany. Now, people can read about his experiences in his memoir "Tales from the Cold War: The U.S. Army in West Germany, 1960-1975."

    The University of North Georgia (UNG) Press released the latest Association of the United States Army (AUSA) book on Dec. 28.

    "Through our partnership with AUSA, we're able to support our educational mission with books that demonstrate the multiple factors the military comprises. These include knowledge of academic subjects like history, strategy, geography, and communications," Dr. BJ Robinson, director of UNG Press, said. "These books, especially 'Tales from the Cold War: The U.S. Army in West Germany, 1960—1975,' demonstrate another important factor: humanity."

    The partnership between UNG Press and AUSA produces high-quality books that address subjects such as military land power and land warfare history, technology, combat, and strategy and tactics. The curated collection helps educate members of the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense, the AUSA, U.S. government officials, and the public.

    "Tales from the Cold War" features Mahler's recollections about his time in Germany while he raised his family and commanded a cavalry squadron. In his memoir, Mahler reflects on the lessons from the senior leaders of World War II, the building of the Berlin Wall, and the unique challenges that come with command.

    The UNG Press is a scholarly, peer-reviewed press that serves as an extension of UNG. Its primary function is to promote education and research with a special emphasis on innovative scholarship and pedagogy. Through its partnership with Affordable Learning Georgia and eCore, the UNG Press is the leading press in Georgia for producing open educational resources and open textbooks.
