Summary

"Surveying the 150,000 American and British soldiers known to have deserted in the European Theater, [this book] tells the life stories of three soldiers who abandoned their posts in France, Italy, and Africa. Their deeds form the backbone of Glass's ... portrait of soldiers pushed to the breaking point, a sweeping reexamination of the conditions for ordinary soldiers."--Front flap of jacket
