Most Americans are aware of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Many remember Vietnam. But almost no one knows of the Berlin Crisis of 1961 – despite the 148,000 Reservists who were pulled from their civilian lives with almost no warning. The Year We Were Forgotten tells that story from the inside.

This book explores the questions that still linger six decades later:
  • Why were 148,000 Reservists mobilized with so little information?
  • What did the men actually experience during those long months away from home?
  • How did this overlooked mobilization influence decisions during the Cuban Missile Crisis?
  • And how did such a large Cold War event vanish from public memory?
Part memoir and part historical restoration, The Year We Were Forgotten brings to light a moment when ordinary citizens were asked to serve their country, did so willingly, and were then left out of the story. It is a testament to the men who answered the call—and a reminder of how easily a chapter of history can disappear when no one tells it.

Open these pages and rediscover a chapter of American history that should never have been forgotten.
