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.
