World War II Memoirs
On the 80th anniversary of the war´s
end, 5 classic memoirs capture
firsthand the shock, terror, and
courage of the American fight
against the Axis powers in
Europe"The emotional environment
of warfare has always been
compelling," writes J. Glenn Gray in
his incomparable World War II
memoir and mediation, The
Warriors. "Reflection and calm
reasoning are alien to it." The
struggle to make sense of the
experience of war, to find some
meaning in the savagry and
senseless destruction, animates the
five brilliant and unforgettable
memoirs gathered here. Company
Commander (1947), by Charles B.
MacDonald, describes with startling
immediacy and candor the "cold,
dirty, rough, frightened, miserable"
