520 $aA poignant collection of the private thoughts, secret fears, & eyewitness accounts of soldiers under enemy fire. Vivid, moving, truthful, the letters & diaries selected for this volume by this historian afford intimate glimpses into the souls of ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances. Written from the battlefield, often from the front lines, the firsthand descriptions of military combat by common soldiers & junior officers lend to these never-before-published accounts a rawness of emotion & an immediacy that never make their way into history books. In its uniquely personal perspectives on military engagements ranging in time from the American Revolution & Napoleonic Wars through two world wars & the Vietnam conflict, this engrossing collection of testimony illuminates, too, the evolution of modern warfare. Whether written by an infantryman in the trenches of World War I or in camp by a relative Rommell or Napoleon, the personal eyewitness accounts in this remarkable book make poignantly intimate the military experience & the hell that is war.
