If you want an 18 year old boy to understand what war really is. . .(not that video-game stuff) September 13, 2005

Then get this book.
It is about WWII, but it is written by an 18 year old boy (at the time) and it is eye-opening to someone who might think war is to be glorified.
Claud tells his first-hand account of battles like Iwo Jima and Okinawa. They're horrifying because of the great price his generation had to pay to keep us free.
If you knew a WWII veteran and want to know what the war was really like - then you've got to get this book!
