- catalog abstract ""From the Battle of the Bulge to VE Day, A. Preston Price takes us through France, Belgium, Germany, and Czechoslovakia for a riveting, soldier's-eye view of the final phase of fighting in World War II Europe. A young lieutenant with the First Infantry Division (the "Big Red One"), Preston served as an 81-mm mortar forward observer, and he skillfully recreates the realities of combat in an engaging prose style filled with details of his own experience on the rough march to the war's hard-won conclusion. His descriptions of life as an infantryman highlight the plight of the ordinary - though often heroic - soldier as he valiantly battles the enemy while facing his own probable demise."--Jacket.".
