Title: Cousin is casualty in the Battle of Biak in June 1944
Product review: A few years ago I was speaking with my cousin about his older brother who was killed in his foxhole by a Japanese bayonet in the Biak battle on June 17, 1944. He was twenty years old. I cried when I read the pages describing those frightening nights in their foxholes of June 1944. I hoped perhaps this author might have mentioned my cousin's name. Though he did not mention his name, I did see a man's name who was from Shamokin, Pennsylvania, a town twenty miles from where we lived. I was, indeed, fascinated by this book which followed the author from basic training through his experiences of the war in the South Pacific. War is brutal, and I am grateful and I honor the men and women who risk their lives and lose their lives to protect us. Thank you, Frank Bernard Catanzaro, for this window into the life of a soldier.
