A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

"In high school I wanted to be a doctor. The editors of our year book suggested that I might end up as a cartoonist. When war came, I wanted to join the national effort and started mine at the age of seventeen by enlisting in the Army Specialized Training Reserve Program. From the campus of the University of Delaware, I was sent to Arkansas for Infantry Basic Training when I was eighteen, and then to Europe to join the 103rd Infantry Division as a rifleman replacement. I never thought I ever made much of a contribution toward the ultimate victory over Hitler, but I did have the need to share with others some of the day to day events of a war that was falling apart for the ones who started it. I had a front row seat to the last days of the war in Europe, and America rewarded me with the means to an education and a career with the gift of the GI Bill. On reflection, I know I did the right thing."
