About this product

Product Information

Hanging Sam chronicles the life of Lt. General Samuel T. "Hanging Sam" Williams, who, after being relieved of his duties as Assistant Division Commander of the 90th Infantry Division and demoted from the rank of brigadier general following the 1944 Normany invasion, persevered to recover not only his lost star but two additional ones as well, an accomplishment unmatched in modern U. S. Army history. Following enlistment in the Texas Militia in 1916 to fight Pancho Villa along the U.S.-Mexican border, Williams served in both World Wars, the Korean War (where he commanded the 25th Infantry Dividion), and Vietnam (where from 1955 to 1960 he was Chief of the U. S. Military Assistance and Advisory Group). Wounded twice in battle, Williams was decorated with every medal for valor the Army awards, except the Medal of Honor.

Great story for more than just its military theme
This is a great true story of a local hero from a small (at the time) Texas town. The transformation of a significant member of the armed service throughout his career weaves through history with many compelling story twists along the way. This is a good read for anyone interested in a significant figure from Texas history, Armed Forces buffs, and anyone that just wants to read the story of a very interesting individual.
