With the 41st Division in the Southwest Pacific: A Foot Soldier's Story

Rating:
Summary: Very good combat memoir of the Southwest Pacific
Review: This book is a brief, but solid memoir of a soldier who fought in New Guinea and the Phillipines written nearly fifty years after the end of the war. The battle descriptions are first rate and his prose is very readable. The author is honest in admitting when his memory of events is imperfect but the years have not dimmed much. The author comes across as a likeable guy who is rightfully proud of his contribution to the "Good War".
