No stupid commanding officers or ignorant college-boy lieutenants. It had, instead, a soldierly professionalism built on sound and rigorous training. ...commitment of man to man and man to unit was total. There was a soldier's intimacy, and a soldier's humor. Together they meant survival, and that is what this memoir is about." Shipping weight 2 lbs.. First Edition. . VG/Near Fine. 23½ X 16 cm. more information
