Summary: Sadler breathes narrative. You feel you are there.
Review: Barry Sadler's work is one of the best short run downs of the war in the Eastern Fron in WWII that I have ever read. His attention to small details and insights into how soldiers think and act is incredible. Former Staff Sargeant Barry Sadler should know, he was a Green Beret. His tragic death a few years ago of a gunshot wound robbed us all of a great talent. He will be missed.

Summary: Casca's Russian Front a must!
Review: Feel the biting cold of a Russian winter as Casca and his buddies try to make it back through enemy lines to safety! Not a book for the faint hearted or squeamish. Those who have ever read the Sven Hassel novels will enjoy this one, and I'd recommend watching the film "Cross of Iron" to get some idea of what Casca went through in this one. One of the best in the series, and see how Hitler REALLY died!

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST OF THE CASCA BOOKS
Review: Of the entire series, this is probably one of the top three or four written by Sadler. It rather amazes me that the author was able to get so much in so few pages. Sadler is able to capture the character of Casca very well in this one and developes other character or character types that will appear in later novels. The story is fast moving, yet detailed. The nice thing about the Casca books, is that after the first one is read, you really do not have to read them in order, each book is a good story within itself. Again, as with most of his novels, Sadler has done a wonderful bit of reasearch. This is certainly true of this one. The few errors he did make were of little moment. Very much recommend this one.

Summary: Panzer soldier is my favorite.
Review: Panzer soldier was the first Casca book I read. It was on a long road trip back in about 1983. I picked up the book at a small book store for about 2 dollars and spent the next 8 hours sitting in the back of a Chevy van totally immersed in this book.As the title implies, Casca finds himself a soldier in the German Tank Corp. during WW2. He didn't pick the German Army for personal reasons, it is just that they were hiring when he was looking for work. Most of the story deals with battles with the Russians on the eastern front, but some of it takes place in Berlin during the last days of the 3rd Reich. Without ruining it for you I will just say it is very very good.

Summary: ANOTHER BARRY SADLER EPIC!
Review: This is my all-time favorite Casca book. My favorite parts are where one of Casca's men kills an SS squad herding Jews on a train, and where Casca kills the three SS men with the female Jewish prisoner. The rest I won't give away. The action surpasses any found in those 500+ page epic historical novels. It is simply the best.

Summary: ANOTHER BARRY SADLER EPIC!
Review: This should be all made into movies. Highlander stole the idea but it doesn't come near to this work of extrodinarry talent that Mr. Sadler had. This is a must read.
