Ăber dieses Buch
This book is a first-hand account, based on personal experiences and observation, of a war unique in history and vital for the future of our civilisation. Part of the book is written in the form of fictional stories, each closely based on actual events, which reveal vividly the reactions of the fighting men and of the natives of a war-torn country."THIS is a blessed event. At last the United States Army has given birth to a top-grade writer. From the Korean war has come finally one thin volume of prose which is apt to be remembered long after we have forgotten the heroisms of Heartbreak Ridge and the frustrations of Panmunjom."âNY Times
