A dogface's view of World War II. John M. Khoury was a 19-year-old college sophomore when he was called to active duty in the U.S. Army. He served as a rifleman in L Company, 399th Infantry Regiment. From 1 November 1944 until 8 May 1945 he served in combat with his unit except for about seven weeks spent in an army hospital for trench foot. He was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, the Bronze Star Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster for valor, the Presidential Distinguished Unit Badge, Good Conduct Medal, European Theater Medal with three Battle Stars, American Theater Medal, Army of Occupation Medal-Germany, and Victory Medal. His view of war comes from the subterranean level of a foxhole where all human senses are on full alert but the mind has atrophied. Technicalities and strategies of warfare are left to others while he has concentrated on the lives of the "infants" of the infantry.

This was like being with my father again to recall his service in World War 2. Mr .Khoury story was my fathers too. My Dad was gunner with the 209th attached to 100th . He was very proud to display his combat infantry badge as evidence of his service.Thank you Mr Khoury and all your Band of Brothers.
I especially enjoyed your day in the life of a dogface from fox hole digging to army chicken shit. My Dad would have loved this well organized book.
The book is a treasury of the memories my father shared with the author and an Army of the Greatest Generation.
My father served over seas three years!four months and eighteen days and dug fox holes in Africa , Italy,France & Germany. He never took me camping!
He always let me go to his army reunions . Meeting his comrades was an honor. This book was like another reunion with my Dad . My Dad was 24 on his birthday ,January 13,1945. He was in Enchenberg France. This book told me where he was in history on his birthday. An infantry soldier.

4,0 su 5 stelle 米第100歩兵師団第399連隊L中隊 部隊史の見本と言えるような良書

Kindleで読める部隊史は探せば結構あるのですが、構成といい年代といい珍しく
読んでみたいと思わせる作品です。
やはりエディトリアルデザインや章の切り方など、電子書籍で読ませるテクニックは
存在するもんだなぁと思わせてくれる良いサンプルです。
因みにこの部隊はノルマンディー上陸作戦後に南フランスに入り、終戦までを
戦っています。
丁度、バンドオブブラザーズの少し後の参加になります。
巻末には当時の部隊での生活を感じさせるショットが続き、これだけでも内容に
膨らみを持たせるのに成功しています。
Appendixが多いのも、読者に読ませるのに大切な要素なのだと勉強させられます。

I got this a few weeks ago on a day it was listed for free. I like history so I grabbed it.

First off - it is not a perfectly written book. It has some flaws in that department. If writing flaws bug you a lot, you might as well stay away from the book. But I suggest giving it a chance.

I got past the imperfect writing because the story is so good. It is a more or less chronological autobiographical account of a soldier's experiences in WWII in the US Army in Europe.

The book was based on the author's recollections from many years later so it is hard to tell just how accurate a reflection it is of what transpired. He intersperses chunks of the company daily morning reports into the book, which matter-of-factly mention they marched so far, or went from one place to another by motor, or so many soldiers died that day.

I don't know that it matters much if the story perfectly reflects what went on almost 70 years ago. It is what the author remembers from way back when, and that is as good as it will get.

The story tells of battles won (and a few setbacks). It tells of buddies that were wounded, and others that died. It also tells of soldiers who came and went (either dead or wounded) before the author got a chance to even know their names.

There is enough background information in the book to make some of the purely military stuff of that era understandable without getting in the way of the story - a tough task that the author pulled off very well.

It is not a real long book, but it is one well worth the time spent reading it.

My Grandmother was married prior to the man who became my grandfather. Unfortunately I did not know about this first marriage until a month or two before her death in 1999. I was recently curious and typed his name into Google to see if anything came up. This book came up. I love reading about WWII and what the "Greatest Generation"" did to protect our freedoms. My Grandmother was married to SSGT Nicholas Franzini who was killed on April 18, 1945. In the book Mr. Khoury mentions him and a premonition of his death. He also mentions my grandmother. It is nice to know that the memory of his service lives on in the book. If anyone reads this and has more information for me on Nick Franzini please let me know. I have about 75 letters from him to my grandmother in order from October till a week before his death. The book gives a good time line to follow along with the letters.

The author gives us his experiences, his thoughts, his under standing, and his point of view of the last few months of WW 2. If you want one side of a multifacted event this may be the book you have been looking for. The book is not without value, but not for me.
