As the last soldiers of World War II say their goodbyes, the stories of their experiences go with them. Have you ever wondered what WW II was REALLY like? Does Hollywood really capture the essence of life at war in their block busters? What were the days really like for humble privates in the Army trying to do their best to answer their country's call to war? Steve's Story lays it out, day by day, month by month, year after year. Based on a war diary kept by a Signal Corpsman during his nearly 3 years of duty and brought to life with his photographs and postcards, this book will introduce you to the day in and day out activities during the war. With historical context and perspective of the war added to the journal entries, you will come to know and understand what survival at war was really like. The joy at being able to bathe after weeks of living in mud, the lack of movement with endless days waiting for orders, and the delightful discovery of an abandoned wine factory are just a few of the ups and downs related on these pages. While this book was produced primarily for the preservation of family history, those of you with an interest in the mundane affairs of war or the work of the Army Signal Corps may also enjoy going on this journey into World War II.
