Title: A pleasant surprise
Review: When I first saw that this was a WWII memoir, I had my doubts. As a baby boomer, I had grown up with stories about the war, and loads of people who thought "they could write a book about it." Only writing a book takes more than good stories. So when I read an excerpt of "A Corporal Once," I was pleasantly surprised, and decided to order it.Inglesby's style is simple and concise. There is no great drama. There are no bloody battle scenes, nothing to tell us that "war is hell," except for the dedication, written in memory of a fallen friend he obviously still thinks about some 60 years later. It's a simple memoir of one man's experiences during WW II. It contains lots of humor, and little of the cliche.I strongly recommend this book not just to those interested in the war, but to anyone who enjoys a well-written memoir.
