Autorenporträt

This book was very well-written in a secular and individual way. It gives a very realistic account of the day to day experience and some of the transitions that the soldiers endured between arrival, the Bulge Offensive, the thawing out and the Siegfried Line experience in 1945. It was a slog and everyday chipped at one's armor. The steadily encroaching realization that something bad or unlucky could happen accelerated as the offensive ebbed and snow thawed but the dangers (and mines/artillery) were still omnipresent. Some of the thoughts about critical enduring friendships (with his friend Archie) and those small but key facets that may have kept a man sane and capable of enduring one are well-described.
