About This Novel
Ernie Pyle began reporting on the North African battlefield as a war correspondent in 1942. He followed the troop transport ship to Africa and experienced the gunfire and smoke of the Tunisian campaign with the Allied soldiers. 1St Infantry Division and 1st Armored Division, privates and privates, jeeps and GMC two-and-a-half-ton trucks and Douglas DC-3 cargo planes, prisoners of war and trophies, dive bombing and machine gun fire, snakes and lizards, doctors and nurses, rations and blankets, behind it all lay graves and graves and graves. Pyle tells "our war" from various angles and in every detail. The Allies, the Germans, the French, and the Arabs, from soldiers to officers, Pyle observed them without any preconceived views and found that they had both illusions and realities about war. For the Allied soldiers, they died, and so those who were left could live on.
