Description
David Kenyon Webster's memoir is a clear-eyed and emotionally charged account of youth, camaraderie, and the chaos of war. Based on his own letters home and recollections, Webster provides a firsthand account of life in E Company, 101st Airborne Division, crafting a memoir that resonates with the immediacy of a gripping novel. Webster's story takes readers from the beaches of Normandy to the blood-dimmed battlefields of Holland, offering a vivid and varied cast of young paratroopers from all walks of life, and unforgettable glimpses of enemy soldiers and hapless civilians caught up in the melee. This memoir is at once harsh and moving, boisterous and tragic, providing a remarkable snapshot of what it was like to enter Germany in the last days of World War II.
