A dramatic and humorous account of a paratrooper medic in the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment during WWII. O'Brien is the author of the perfect soldier's story of a paratrooper, Screaming Eagle, Geronimo and Combat Medic. His book is from the viewpoint of a participant and keen observer in the battle to secure Hell's Highway in Holland, the defense of Bastogne, the campaign through Eastern France, to Southern Germany and into Austria, all told by a feisty young Irish medical aid man with uncanny powers of observation and an outstanding memory of details. Illustrated with photos. This is the original 1990 first edition published by the 101st Airborne Association.
