- Summary:
- "In 1959, Harold M. Koenig was discharged from the U.S. Naval Academy because of progressive hearing loss and went on to college, then medical school. In 1965, the draft board notified him he would be drafted despite his disability. Rather than be drafted, Koenig volunteered. His memoir recounts his career path from 4-F cadet to vice admiral"-- Provided by publisher.
