About the Book

This first hand account by this WWII machine-gunner will transport the reader through over three months of harrowing experiences. From the sound of a sniper's bullet impacting the man he is conversing with to the helpless emotion as he listens to a friend confess to his premonition of impending death. Feel the fear as his unit penetrates the enemy's front line to relieve an isolated outpost. Feel the burning when a Japanese mortar shell explodes within a few feet. These true experiences will keep your attention from beginning to end.
