Description: "Before W. C. Heinz embarked on his illustrious career as one of the premier sports writers of the past fifty years, he served as a war correspondent for the New York Sun. Now for the first time ever, Heinz's finest work on World War II, written both during and after the war, is collected in one volume.".

"Beginning in 1944, with his first-person account aboard the U.S.S. Nevada during D-Day, to his legendary dispatches from the towns and battlefields of the European front, Heinz vividly conveys the courage, humor, and humanity of men under fire.

Whether describing how a captain broke down as he recounted his men's bravery in combat against the Germans for 39 straight days, or recalling a jeep ride on a moonlit night in Belgium with a major who was later killed, or witnessing the execution of three German spies, Heinz places you right in the thick of the action."--BOOK JACKET.
