What were the thoughts of a man at war--one of the millions of citizen soldiers called from home and civilian pursuits to take up the unfamiliar role of combat in a faraway land? What was the language and the attitude of the men of the front? What constituted their humor? What were the pressures on these men of battle in contact with the enemy for 300 days--a seeming eternity to those who survived. What were the contacts with world-renowned leaders of those times as Eisenhower, De Gaulle, Montgomery, Patton, Truman and others? What did the GIs think of them? It's all here, and more, in this personal, combat journal kept faithfully day by day, as the author observed and recorded the expressions, deeds, wounds and deaths of the GI Joes--the unknown privates, non-coms, junior officers and staff officers, as well as the famous commanders. All books are shipped in a heat-sealed plastic bag in a new cardboard box. All books are shipped via media mail (other modes of shipment are available upon request and at an additional fee).
