I wasn't trying to complain----I know my wife says I sound that way.
I like to know a little bit about a book especially if I order it thru the mail. Also, I like to know Why you like it. I had a dozen people tell me "Ya gotta read 'An Army at Dawn'." but I didn't. It is intimidating to buy a 700-page history book.
And the price helps because when I found that book on sale for $8.00, then I knew it was a deal. Shoot, almost a Penny a page. It helps me to shop around for a deal, especially when I'm on eBay.
More than thirty years later, when President Carter recognized the unit’s “extraordinary heroism†and the U.S. Army approved combat medals for all eighteen men, they became America’s most decorated platoon of World War II.With the same vivid and dramatic prose that made The Bedford Boys a national bestseller, Alex Kershaw brings to life the story of these little-known heroes
Now, are you saying this book was written by the same author who wrote "The Bedford Boys"? I assume the book was just released and Carter heard about them thru other channels---am I correct on this??
