By Jack Sacco'78 (Regan).
The
author offers the story of his soldier father, Joe Sacco, who
was drafted in 1941 at age 18 and learned firsthand the horrible
realities of war when his unit landed on the beaches of Normandy.
The World War II chronicle, which has won praise for its "compelling
recreation of the G.I. experience," also contains black-and-white
photographs from battalion members' personal collections.
"Just as our cause was worth fighting for, so too are our stories
worth remembering," writes Senator Bob Dole in his foreword.
