A young American boy... just starting out in Camden Maine, is suddenly thrust into two of the worst US Army conflicts in living memory. This dramatic and detailed account offers a glimpse of the horrors and revelations that only war can provide. One man, against all the odds, tells us how he went to war, came back alive and then built a new life in Britain with his English bride, Joyce, and their sons David, Terry and Paul. William Hershel Nelson, now eighty-four years old, is one of the few surviving World War II veterans.
