- catalog abstract "Basing this memoir on his original World War II diary, Pfc. Richard D. Courtney tells what it was like to be a combat infantryman in America's biggest war. In a day-by-day account of his experiences in combat, Courtney records the history of his antitank platoon - part of the 104th Infantry Regiment of the 26th Infantry Division - as it fought from Normandy, to the Battle of the Bulge, to the end of the war in Czechoslovakia. He tells what happened to his comrades, the enemy, and the innocent civilians who were devastated by the war. Courtney does not discuss war tactics; as an infantryman, he was not privy to the big decisions and grand strategy. He does, however, understand and communicate intimately the reality of a line combat soldier facing a retreating but deadly enemy in day-to-day struggle.".
