With the passage of time rapidly depleting the ranks of WWII combat veterans, the opportunity to learn what battle was like first hand is fast disappearing. Nothing can quite surpass a truthful personal account of such experiences to put the horrors of war in their real perspective and dispel the myth that war is somehow glamorous. In his collection of 20 short stories, best-selling author Mel Rolfe has done just that. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the subject.
