Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a memoir by an ordinary young man who is drafted into the army shortly after the United States enters World War II. He is sent overseas, and the story follows his experiences as he undergoes training, sees combat, and witnesses the horrors of war. Through it all, he retains his characteristic sense of humor. The author uses humor to underscore the absurdity of war, and the arbitrary and senseless death that goes along with it. Yet, juxtaposed against this humor is an almost lyrical evocation of the strong bonds of comradeship that form among the men, the love that supports them even as their world is falling apart around them, and a profound meditation on the value of the human spirit in the face of war's wholesale dehumanization. What makes this book a classic though, is the author's determination to tell the story of the war as only he can - through the eyes of the ordinary men who fight it, providing a poignant, vivid, and deeply human account of courage, friendship, and survival in the face of tremendous hardship and fear. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
