Críticas:

"Tells how things really were in those days." - Army "Mathias has recaptured what it was like to make war in the 40s - a Gl's frank fear, his innocence and naivete, his uncertainties and ignorance, his excitements,... and his ultimate sense of growth and achievement." - Journal of Philippine Studies"

Reseña del editor:

Frank Mathias was a Kentucky teenager when war swept him halfway around the world. He took part in the huge invasion force in the Battle of Manila, the deadliest single battle of the Pacific War. As a saxophonist and a machine gunner attached to the 37th infantry Division, Mathias saw World War II from the bottom of the heap, where young privates lived and died.
