The Sunset War: The 41st Infantry Division in the South Pacific

Rating:
Summary: Great Story!
Review: This is a great story of the GIs who served in the 41st "Sunset" Divsion and fought their way from New Guinea to the Philippines. A great personal memoir of a young soldier who, due to his vast resourcefulness, made the most of his overseas experience. My Dad served in the 163rd "Montana" Regiment of the 41st Division, and though the author was in the 162nd Regiment, his telling of what it was like over there must have been similar to what Dad went through. Dad would only occasionally mention in a sentence or two something about the War and New Guinea. Thanks, Paul Wilson, for giving us a detailed account of the experience. This book should appeal greatly to anyone interested in Pacific War, it was a quick read and hard to put down!

Summary: Part history lesson part personal experience
Review: Written from the authors experiences in the south pacific durring WW2. As the author tells his war adventure he throws in little painless history lessons. well written, quick easy read. I would love to see more war veterans document their experiences.
