PARACHUTE INFANTRY(ISBN=9780385336499) 英文原版 下载 mobi 免费 pdf 百度网盘 epub 2025 在线 电子书

David Kenyon Webster’s memoir is a clear-eyed, emotionally

charged chronicle of youth, camaraderie, and the chaos of war.

Relying on his own letters home and recollections he penned just

after his discharge, Webster gives a first hand account of life in

E Company, 101st Airborne Division, crafting a memoir that

resonates with the immediacy of a gripping novel.

From the beaches of Normandy to the blood-dimmed battlefields of

Holland, here are acts of courage and cowardice, moments of

irritating boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror, and

pitched urban warfare. Offering a remarkable snapshot of what it

was like to enter Germany in the last days of World War II, Webster

presents a vivid, varied cast of young paratroopers from all walks

of life, and unforgettable glimpses of enemy soldiers and hapless

civilians caught up in the melee. Parachute Infantry is at once

harsh and moving, boisterous and tragic, and stands today as an

unsurpassed chronicle of war--how men fight it, survive it, and

remember it.
