Yank, the Army Weekly: World War II from the Guys Who Brought You Victory

This unique and illuminating book offers an incredible picture of the individual fighting man in the Second World War. Arranged in rough chronological and geographic order, it tells the stories in the words of the men who fought and wrote about it. This is definitely not a romantic, rosy picture of "war heroes", nor do you have to suffer through the details of Rommel's planning, or Eisenhower's secret fears--this is the story of the front lines, land, sea, and air. Each story is an article that appeared in YANK during the war--vivid, interesting, and packed with all the details that make it lively reading from first to last.
