How did the ordinary 20th century foot soldier feel in the midst of a major battle, not yet aware he was making history and lacking the vital information known to his commanders? Mixing fact and fiction, an author of more than a dozen military books takes us into the heart of the action in Mons, the Somme, Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, Vietnam, and more, showing us real events through the eyes of imagined characters.
