<p align="center"> <b>WINNER OF A NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD</b> <P> Ernie Pyle, better than any other World War II journalist, conveyed the triumphs and tribulations of the common soldier trying to survive a brutal conflict. From North Africa and Normandy, Anzio and Okinawa -- where he died -- Pyle brought the war home to America. James Tobin's "superbly documented and compassionate account" (<I>Publishers Weekly</i>) is a classic biography of an American icon.
