Summary: An excellant account of an infantry company in World War II.
Review: Dear Captain, et al. Is a brilliantly written memoir of a young soldier during WWII. Mr. Howerton gives a very factual account of a highly distinguished infantry company during the war. His wonderful writing style allows you to see the war from day to day through his eyes. You will get to know the men of Company K, 335th Infantry Regiment, 84th Infantry Division as if you were there with them. The love story intermingled with the historical content is an excellent touch. I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

Summary: Grit, Tears, Guts - War Remembrance From A Guy Who Was There
Review: In "Dear Captain, et al." an ex-sergeant tells us the story of his company during the final year of World War II in Northern Europe. This story of war is compelling because it is told by an eyewitness who complements his own remarkable and unflinching memory with documents from official sources, making a narrative which is by turns as intimate as a conversation with an uncle and as far ranging as a lesson from an historian. There is no glory in the war described here. The waste, horror, madness, and despair of mankind's most desperate activity is chronicled here with the profound understanding of someone who lived it. Soldiers and civilians, all who were caught up in the past century's bloodiest war, are here portrayed by ex-sergeant Howerton with such uncommon honesty, wisdom and compassion, that the reader is left with both a renewed sense of the true tragedy of war, and a deeper repect for those who were called to sacrifice their lives. Author Allan Wilford Howerton provides a searing, honest, and tearful portrayal which honors his comrades. He provides his readers a spell binding reminiscence which cannot be fogotten.
