Glenn Frazier's harrowing and heroic story is a constant reminder that the Second World War wasn't the good war of our subsequent mythologizing, but the worst war ever, where young men from the heartland sacrificed their innocence, and often a whole lot more, to create the world we now enjoy. Frazier's experience, detailed here in this remarkable book, is at once ironic, courageous, horrifying and ultimately redeeming, and he tells it as only an honest soldier can straight from the heart. --Ken Burns
