The entire world was suffering fatigue. The worst war in history had raged in Europe since 1939 and the land, cities, and people lay in ruins. ETO Memories is an account of one young American soldier's experiences in the European Theater of Operations (ETO) during the final months of World War II. The narrative is a series of anecdotes about people and events and the setting in which the tale unfolds. It is a story of civilians in uniform, young men struggling to perform their military duties while often frustrated, confused and frightened by the seeming chaos in which they operated. It is also a story of the entire range of human behavior from selfless devotion to duty and one's comrades to the other extreme of selfishness, greed and depravity. Book jacket.
