Why read it?
1 author picked Ernie's War as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I haven’t found anyone better at describing the personal situations and experiences of soldiers in war than Ernie Pyle. In this compilation, he interviews soldiers at every level, in a wide variety of duties, with honesty, directness, humor, and literary style. It is no wonder that his syndicated columns appeared in over 400 daily and 300 weekly newspapers, making him the voice of war-time America.
From Donald's list on what our fathers never told us about WWII.
