First published in 1949, this World War II memoir records the experiences of a combat infantryman with the United States Army from the D-Day invasion of Normandy through the Allied forces movement across Europe and into Germany. The memoir's brutal honesty about the horrors of war has led numerous commentators to label it a forgotten classic. Distributed in the US by Books International.
