I Married a Soldier: One Family's Cold War Adventures Paperback - 2018

by Shirley Condit Starkey


From the publisher

Reluctantly drafted at the beginning of the Korean War and immediately sent to Officer's Candidate School at Ft. Benning, Georgia, the author's future husband decides to make the Army his career. He returns home from his Korean tour and romances his impetuous former girlfriend. They marry and embark on a life of wars, earthquakes, riots, assassinations, and babies born in a foreign land. The author, during two tours in Iran during the time of the Shah, learns tough life lessons that strengthen her backbone and makes her determined to persevere and win.
At the time of the draft laws, millions of American women suffered the same experiences. They left promising careers to follow their husbands to new postings without the support of their friends, families and familiar surroundings. These naive young women were expected to adjust to military customs, make friends and handle child rearing on their own while maintaining a household when the husband was so often elsewhere.
These women are unsung heroines.
