This 400 page book published on the 25th anniversary of the 25th Infantry Division, otherwise known as "Tropic Lightning" pays tribute to all the men who have served in this division. Filled with dozens of photos along with textual description this book gives a complete history from October 1941-October 1966 of the 25th Division. From the Dedication page: "This is the story of the 25th Infantry Division, written by the man who wears the 'Tropic Lightning' patch, skilled through the rigors of intensive field training, matured by the strains of combat. It's a story of dedication, determination and courage."

And from the Epilogue: "There are times in the lives of dedicated men when the course of human events leads to moments of trial and tribulation, courage and conviction, truth and triumph. In response, fighting men of the 25th have shouldered their share of responsibility in halting the aggressor on the battlefield, in defending freedom with sweat and blood and sometimes with life and freedom itself. Men of the "Tropic Lightning" today, as in days and years passed, continue to bear the burden, pay the price, uphold the traditions of a heritage enriched with liberty, steeped in the spirit of brotherhood. This is the story of the 25th Infantry Division. No one knows it better than the man who has served the 'Tropic Lightning' No one will ever know it better than he."
