About this Item

A highly collectible book by World War II Veteran infantryman who survived the Battle of the Bulge. This 3rd edition (2003) appears to be the ONLY copy on the internet actually signed by author Sandy Hadden! Pages are still clean and bright, however some are wrinkled. This memoir recounts Hadden's transformation from Ivy League student to infantryman in the 28th Infantry Division, tracing his service through Camp Rucker, H?tgen Forest, and the Battle of the Bulge. Written decades later, it captures the reluctant humor and realism of a soldier thrust into combat, emphasizing the psychological toll and camaraderie of riflemen in Europe. The book includes photographs from wartime and postwar revisits to France and Germany, plus appendices documenting reunions and reflections. Hadden's tone is candid and unembellished, making it a valuable primary source for WWII historians and collectors of personal narratives. Hard cover edition with dustjacket. 170 pages.
