After the War, as a sequel to Tales of the Korean War, follows the actions and movements of Lawson's regiment during the last days of the war. After the ceasefire, negotiated at Panmunjom, the regiment leaves Korea, is located temporarily on the island of Kyushu, Japan, and then later moved to a permanent location in Hawaii. Their stay of several months in Hawaii is highlighted by a visit of Lawson's wife, Tami, and the later retirement of Colonel Lawson. The regiment is then dissolved by the Department of the Army in a general downsizing of the Army. A discharge from the Army was granted to those men that asked for one. The other men who wanted to stay in the Army were given various assignments elsewhere. Although the Korean War is often referred to as The Forgotten War, the officers and men of Lawson's regiment never forgot it. It remained etched permanently in their minds for the duration of their lives. The major part of After the War is devoted to the experiences of selected veterans after they had retired from the Army. For all of them, their adventures varied from happiness, to near disaster, to disaster, and to tragedy.
