Remembering War: A Personal Memoir of WWII

This first-person account shares the everyday and not-so-everyday details of an 18-year-old Army private from suburban New York City as he served in the 62nd Armored Artillery Battalion in North Africa and Europe from July 1942 to October 1945. The author’s accounts of lucky escapes and his keen observations of people and evocative descriptions of local terrain, flora and fauna and culture in eleven countries and are set against the backdrop of major events in the greatest military conflict in the history of humankind. These are deftly interwoven with his engagement in two D-Day landings and seven major military campaigns.
