My Brother, Hail and Farewell!

Nearly 50 years in the writing. Acclaimed at its inception in 1948 by Robert Frost, then poet-in-residence at Dartmouth College. Rape, murder, intrigue and deception among the young men on the battlefield. The utter brutality, confusion, madness, and total disorganization of men at war. Young soldiers who grew up during the lean years of the great depression, thrown into battle with pitifully inadequate training and still able to engage in moments of unrestrained hilarity. The pain and horror of liberating the concentration camp at Gunskirchen, described in a way that will send shivers up your spine and literally make you gasp. An astounding book, a book you won't put down--a book you'll never forget.
