About the Author:
William Young Boyd graduated from Phillips Academy, Andover and Yale University. During World War II, he fought through the campaigns in the Alsace, the Siegfried Line, Wurzburg, Schweinfurt, Nuremburg, the Danube and Munich. In addition to being an accomplished author, he is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Boyd Steamship Corporation.
Review:
"In understated yet always vigorous metaphor and image, Boyd, himself a veteran of World War II, describes the fright, the carnage, the courage and the cowardice, and the prayers and luck of men in combat. Despite the many revisionist accounts of the last 40 years, this is a compelling book." -Publishers Weekly
