About this listen

A World War II memoir. I served in Troop A of the 43rd Mechanized Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron as part of Patton's Third Army from October 1943 to November 1945 and was on the front lines from August 5, 1944 until Germany's surrender on May 7, 1945. This is my story.

I had just finished 'Company Commander' (Excellent!) and was looking for another book along this vein...WWII ETO by a combat lower-ranking soldier. I was especially excited because my father was also in Patton's Third Army. But this book is not in-depth at all. It's very superficial. It almost like an executive summary or extremely abridged. This would make a really good book for a first-time reader of the genre but I've been reading these books since 6th grade...1973. The performance was lacking as well. It sounded like it was recorded with a pair of earbuds. And the reader's timbre was off-putting, as well as the speed of the reading accelerated. It's a less than two hour book so I realized some of this from that fact but I was still disappointed.

I Was Disaapointed
