Description

In July 1942, Farley Mowat was an excited young infantryman destined for Europe and impatient for fight. This effective, accurate consideration of the activity he noticed, fighting desperately to drive the Nazis out-of France, evokes the horrible truth of battle by having an integrity and quality misinformation can just only mimic. In scene after scene, he explains the pain and antic laughter of the gift's lifestyle: the boredom of camp life, the savagery of the leading, and the friendship shared by those individuals who have been bloodied in battle.
