Description
This narrative is based on letters written home daily from the battlefields of New Guinea and Luzon, P.I. from early 1944 to the last shot in August 1945. It will appeal to historians, veterans of all wars and their families. High school and college students will find it especially interesting in understanding war's effect on the individual. "The harsh reality of war depicted unlflinchingly by a battalion surgeon who saw it all. The exotic diseases, the stress of men wounded and dying under terrible battle conditions, the pain of familial separations and combat friendships are explored. Dr. Sharpe has written one of the most candid and open accounts of war experience that I have ever read in his impressive memoir." DIGBY DIEHL in PRODIGY "...(it) is a solid addition to this specialized (WWII) literature." JOHN HOPKINS BULL of MEDICINE "...accurate to the smallest detail of tedium, panic, and heroism of frontline battle, the author has given us a useful, instructive and unforgettable story of a doctor at war."
