Title: Lessons you won't learn in the classroom
Review: Doctor Brendon Phibbs continues to practice here in Tucson and while his WW II experiences are more than 60 years ago he brings them to life as though everything happened yesterday. We often think of WW II as being the "good" war and that is indeed what we were taught in school. You have to read Dr Phibbs' book to learn that the command, with few exceptions, did not live up to the courage and common sense of the troops who took the fight to the enemy. You also learn that many of the problems we see today were related to a long history of prejudice and irrational behavior that existed despite what we want to believe about ourselves and forefathers. His book should be mandatory reading in "history class" to promote discussion and understanding of why things are the way they are in Europe and the world. In short, if you read this book you will learn about history, human nature and what war is really all about.
