Özet
:
"Based on oral testimony from field soldiers, The GI's War covers developments in Europe and North Africa from the summer of 1940 to V-E Day in 1945. These are eyewitness accounts from ordinary young men in extraordinary circumstances, farm hands and factory workers who had war thrust upon them and in the process became veteran soldiers. Their unsparing narratives, presented in their own words, capture the many emotions evoked by war - confusion, monotony, terror, and glory. GIs and their commanding officers speak freely, and movingly, of becoming soldiers, of enduring the ordeals of the various campaigns, and of fighting for their lives and their country. Vividly personal and universally compelling, their accounts of the friendships, rivalries, atrocities, and triumphs forged in war give new meaning to bravery and sacrifice."--Jacket.
