Andy Rooney was drafted in July, 194l. After training, he was assigned to The Stars and Stripes newspaper as a reporter. He was assigned first to bomber groups in England. After D-Day, he followed infantry and artillery divisions through France into Germany. Rooney is not shy about giving his opinions of what he saw and experienced. I liked this about the book, but occasionally the book was disjointed in spots. But definitely worth a read as he gives an up close and personal look at World War II.
Wonderful compasionate first-hand vew of the men and women who fought and died in WWII!
