Soldier Boy: At Play in the ASA
"A gem of a military memoir ... with detail and humor that transforms it into a universal coming of age story." --Johnny Rico, author of Blood Makes the Grass Grow Greener: A Year in the Desert with Team America"A nice guy. Lord knows where this writing thing came from, but Bazzett's got it, in spades ... A remarkable achievement." --James Crumley, author of One to Count Cadence"I greatly enjoyed Soldier Boy. Bazzett has a rare talent: the ability to keep the reader moving forward!" --Paul Fusselll, author of The Great War and Modern Memory, winner of both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award"I read Soldier Boy with great enjoyment ... A very likeable and convincing soldier ... A gift for detail. Well done." --Samuel Hynes, Professor Emeritus of Literature at Princeton University and author of Flights of Passage: Recollections of a World War II Aviator"I really enjoyed reading Soldier Boy. It brought back memories, since all of the services have something in common." --Darryl Ponicsan, author of The Last Detail and Cinderella Liberty
