Since the nine second-person stories are based on interviews and whatever documents the veterans possess so many years on, they vary in detail and length.
Still, I enjoyed reading these stories for the way they touched on common threads (many related to the common location where they enlisted), and as an antidote to the overly-polished work of Stephen Ambrose: I like Ambrose, and I value the collecting work he did, but this book has a simple, homespun charm. I give it two thumbs up. ( )
