A fascinating, personal account of a young man who skips his last year of high school to join the U.S. Army in 1944. After training, he finds himself assigned as a tank gunner in the 3rd Armored Division in Germany after the Rhine had been crossed. He joins a veteran tank crew and soon learns the war is far from over. And if he wants to live to return home he must learn that "Combat can't be taught---you gotta learn it for yourself."

It was interesting what he chose to do after the war.
