Title: Saving Pvt. Cain
Review: The author tells the story of a young, green recruit, Reuben Cain, who joins an Airborne Infantry unit. Cain, an everyman from the Upper South, must interact with other squad members, some good, some bad. After a brief interlude in Paris and a visit to the infamous Rue Pigalle, Cain moves up to front. Dead bodies appear. The author's tone is realistic and occasionally gritty as he unfolds this war story through young Cain's eyes. It's well-written and a good read. If you've read Ambrose's D-Day work or seen the film "Saving Private Ryan", you'll appreciate this tale as a useful sequel about war at the squad level. The author's background as explained on the book cover gives him special insight in developing this fictional memoir.
