An excellent read with only one negative note: it would have been great if there were more footnotes to identify who the people mentioned were. There were numerous footnotes, but they usually identified the soldiers or battles mentioned. There was a list of some but not all family members and friends at the beginning of the book, but more explanation of characters would have been helpful. However, it was an absorbing account of the war years.
