Summary:
The author was drafted to fight as an infantry man in the closing months of World War II. In this memoir, he describes his experiences in the war, providing a portrait of the day-to-day existence of the soldier during training, the Battle of the Bulge, and other fights on the way into Germany. The account is less sentimental than many of the genre, with the author left reflecting on the scars that are left even by the so-called "good war." Distributed in the US by Books International.
