The realities of war as told through the eyes of a World War II G. I.

His story is filled with humorous and stirring tales, starting with the anxieties of being drafted, followed by the rigors of stateside training, and the perils of going overseas. Off To War is sensitive, exciting and informative. It will revive memories of those who fought in it, and it will help their offspring to understand what their fathers and grandfathers experienced.
