Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. First Edition. A Good, internally clean, solid paperback copy with some soiling to the covers. Some photo illus. Musser was a chaplain to the Military Railway Service. This 134 page book has many accounts of the author's experiences in North Africa, Italy and France but no account of combat.
