If You Survive: From Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge to the End of World War II, One American Officer's Riveting True Story

Wrote a review for

The author is not a professional writer so don't expect that level of quality, however the author does a great job of describing the emotions, exhaustion, stress, and loss that he and those around him felt. He also does a great job of walking a fine line between being honest about the brutality and physical and mental damage of wars and being too graphic with his descriptions.


He does seem to do a bit of timeline jumping around that I found confusing. Also references to directions of travel and towns are rather common and contributed to my confusion; I tried to not focus on trying to visualize relationships between places and some parts of his timeline.
