Sharp End of War: Fighting Man in World War II

 

A common bedrock of suffering is the major theme of this book by John Ellis. Ranging over all the major theatres of war, he has compiled a history of World War 2 from the point of view of the front line soldier. The quotations from letters and memoirs give a deeply moving and always authentic picture of the suffering and anguish that were part and parcel of the grim realities of combat.
