2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This is my grandfather.By WeirdbydesignThis is my grandfather's book. He used to gather us around and tell us these stories. I've read this book several times. I can't convey to you the distance between what it's like to hear these stories straight from him and to read this book; just as his stories could never truly capture what it was like for him to live these stories. If you want a truly different perspective on war; then read this book and get it from the eyes of a soldier and a doctor.
