Known only to his wife, he had faced the unspeakable as a combat infantryman in the Second World War. But two decades later during the Vietnam War, Shinn reveals to stunned students his astounding story as a soldier and prisoner of war and those of a defiant captain in his outfit who ruptures the boundaries of conventional warfare. On a converted ocean liner en route to fight the Nazi army in Europe, the proper young Shinn meets John William Hall, a rough-hewn Southern rifle champion rebelling against the family bloodline. Hall left the dark rage of the Oklahoma Dust Bowl for the vortex of world war, and the two captain’s destinies intertwine at the ferocious Battle of the Bulge." -- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Armored Division, 9th $b Armored Division, 9th $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dust Bowl Era, 1931-1939 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Belgium $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Luxembourg $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Prisoners and prisons, German $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ardennes, Battle of the, 1944-1945 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Soldiers $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Dust Bowl, EÌtats-Unis, 1931-1939 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 $x Campagnes et batailles $z Belgique $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 $x Prisonniers et prisons des Allemands $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Prisonniers de guerre $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Prisoners of war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077227 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922585 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921574 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a War stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230822134959.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76274DFC40EC11EE8D3F4AB20F3FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
