Normandy 1944
A Young Rifleman's War
by Dick Stodghill
The most honest story of war I have ever read
This book does not dwell on heroics but tells a story as it really happened.
The author is brilliant in the way he describes the realities of war and of the fighting man. The drudgery and treachery of war comes alive in the telling. The shortcomings of leadership and downright incompetence of some are not spared from the pen. Respect and even compassion at times for the enemy is unusual in a story of this nature.
Dick Stodghill has made a lasting impression on me. He is what a real soldier is made of. He loathed what he had to do, but did his duty for his country.
