The book really allowed the reader to become a part of story of the Armored and
Infantry as they advanced through Europe. The book also revealed that WW II veterans sacrificed everything to make the world a safe place. My dad was in the Navy and his LST unloaded men and equipment on D-day at Omaha Beach. He rarely spoke of his time in the Navy due to the horrific things he witnessed just like the veterans in the book had to deal with. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes learning more about firsthand accounts of WWII.
