The engaging, humble and straightforward memoirs of a Vet of the fabled Thunderbird Division in World War II encompassing the last six months of the war. From attempting to hide his sight challenges and enlist in the USA, through the challenges of basic training, to the horrors and pathos of combat along with post war experiences in a defeated nation, Stan never fails to engage the reader with his true feelings and even an occasional bit of humor. Anyone interested in knowing what WWII was like for the average (whatever that it) GI will want to read this short book and will not be disappointed.From a reader of the first edition, No boring rants about one battle after another. Just one soldier's very personal experience in his own words. Well written.And, from another, You don't have to be a veteran or a military buff to enjoy this book. I am a grandmother and I was completely absorbed, going back into those war years and being reminded of what our boys went through.
