Unlike No Other

Unlike No Other: Book Two (1974–1990)

A Marine Colonel’s Journey Through Command, Bureaucracy, and the Human Side of Leadership

In Unlike No Other: Book Two, Colonel Robert Wemheuer continues the story of his remarkable military career—picking up after three Vietnam combat tours and following his rise through the ranks to full command.

This second installment in his two-part memoir traces Wemheuer’s “field-grade” years, from his promotion to major through his final post as commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Tustin. Told in the same gripping, story-driven style as Book One, this volume explores the complex realities of leadership at the highest levels of military service—where politics, protocol, and personal conviction often collide.

As with book one, Wemheuer focuses not on his own accolades, but on the Marines, sailors, and civilians who shaped him. Their quiet excellence, mentorship, and commitment to duty remain the heart of his story. Perfect for readers of military memoirs, leadership biographies, and true stories of life inside the U.S. military’s command structure.
