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 (Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ) 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 Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ 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 Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ 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.
