Quote:Training and experience help in war, but always there is luck.
Quote:All my life Id wanted to be a soldier.
I did not intend for my war to be the first one America ever lost.
And if there was anything I could do it wouldnt be.
I was prepared to die, not prepared to lose.
The war was my life and I identified with it totally.
To end it was to end me, and that I would not do.
Remarkable descriptions of the grim reality of combat, heroism and fear in the Pacific.
Quote:Erb drew the first watch and stared into the now-still night.
He had time now to think about how close he had come to death.
Suddenly he began to shake … his carbine quivered as though he were firing a machine gun.
Powerful insights into the unique psyche of a sniper.
