A MUST READ FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN KOREAN WAR COMBAT 
 
 
"For those who served in the frontlines and have the stomach to revisit the past, this book is a must read.
For those who had the good fortune to be at Battalion, Regimental or Division Headquarters,
it is a study into what they were spared."
-- from book review by Ralph M. Hockley,
37th FA BN / 82nd AAA BN, Korean War Veteran's Association
   
"Follow Me Up Fools Mountain is a brand of combat memoir
we're rarely treated to....a type of revisionist history
we could use more of."
--The Military Book Club

A searing account of dogfaces in hell
Follow Me Up Fools Mountain is a platoon leader’s dramatic story about  the fighting in Korea
over fifty years ago. But in a way, it’s not about Korea at all; Follow Me Up Fools Mountain
could be a platoon leader’s experiences in any war of the twentieth century.
The grunts or dogfaces on the ground in any military action are the guys who walk, run,
sprint, crouch, and crawl to take ground from the enemy and then hold it.
Tank crews ride to their death. Dogfaces trudge along to their death
or to face death the next day. Or the next.
Follow Me Up Fools Mountain is about fighting, about leading men, Mexican-Americans,
Jews, college boys, draftees, Regular Army, Army Reservists, Italian Americans,
some as young as sixteen years old, about screaming and yelling encouragement,
about Chinks and gooks, about as many ways to die as Baskin-Robbins has flavors.
It’s also about respect for the men on the front lines, who band together to capture Hill 1179,
Fools Mountain, and hold it. It’s about being overrun and playing dead, about rear-echelon
screw ups, about cracking up, shaping up and throwing up.
It’s about Dudley C. Gould, platoon leader in Korea. Gould was a lance corporal in the
Royal Canadian Infantry until after Pearl Harbor, then transferred to the American Army Air Corps
where, as a tail gunner, he flew overseas with a B-26 Bomb Group. Later he transferred to
the infantry in France, commissioned a rifle platoon leader in the Yankee Division of the
U.S. Third Army. Recalled to active duty in 1951, Gould spent most of that year in combat
as a rifle platoon leader in the Second Infantry Division.
Follow Me Up Fools Mountain is about Gould’s Korea.
Follow Me Up Fools Mountain may be the most intense war memoir you’ll ever read.
No academic military historian on a college campus could top Gould’s
account of a rifle platoon in action.
