Book summary:

Europe was in the throes of World War II, and when America joined the fighting, Ernie Pyle went along. Long before television beamed daily images of combat into our living rooms, Pyles on-the-spot reporting gave the American public a firsthand view of what war was like for the boys on the front. Pyle followed the soldiers into the trenches, battlefields, field hospitals, and beleaguered cities of Europe. What he witnessed he described with a clarity, sympathy, and grit that gave the public back home an immediate sense of the foot soldiers experience.

There were really two wars, John Steinbeck wrote in Time magazine: one of maps and logistics, campaigns, ballistics, divisions, and regiments and the other a "war of the homesick, weary, funny, violent, common men who wash their socks in their helmets, complain about the food, whistle at Arab girls, or any girls for that matter, and bring themselves through as dirty a business as the world has ever seen and do it with humor and dignity and courageand that is Ernie Pyles war." This collection of Pyles columns detailing the fighting in Europe in 194344 brings that warand the living, and dying, moments of historyhome to us once again.

Book summary:

A wonderful and enduring tribute to American troops in the Second World War, Here Is Your War is Ernie Pyles story of the soldiers first campaign against the enemy in North Africa. With unequaled humanity and insight, Pyle tells how people from a cross-section of Americaranches, inner cities, small mountain farms, and college townslearned to fight a war. The Allied campaign and ultimate victory in North Africa was built on blood, brave deeds, sacrifice and needless loss, exotic vistas, endurance, homesickness, and an unmistakable American sense of humor. Its all herethe suspenseful landing at Oran; the risks taken daily by fighter and bomber pilots; grim, unrelenting combat in the desert and mountains of Tunisia; a ferocious tank battle that ended in defeat for the inexperienced Americans; and the final victory at Tunis. Pyles keen observations relate the full story of ordinary G.I.s caught up in extraordinary times.
