Description

This is the extraordinary memoir of the 22nd Infantry Regiment—a unit that Ernest Hemingway stayed with for five months. It describes the unit's historic WWII drive across France and the bloody Battle of the Hurtgen Forest, and relates a moving account of men who enlisted to fight in a just cause. Touching on the chaos of war and how accidental atrocities—such as the use of poison gas by American artillery on November 15, 1944—were narrowly averted, Soldier's Journal is a memoir rich in character, detail, and atmosphere. - from Amzon
