Summary

"Provides accounts from veterans of nearly every division (armor, infantry, airborne, marine) that saw combat in World War II. These soldiers carried out the same dirty, monotonous, dangerous job day after day and did it successfully. Not only did they do it in radically different circumstances against different enemies, but they themselves often came from completely different regional or ethnic backgrounds."
