Negative Positive
Title: Eloquent and moving
Review: Enduring a devastating artillery barrage; the company commander bleeding to death; an American soldier lying dead in the snow just minutes after singing "Silent Night"; an emaciated prisoner thrilled to find a partially rotten turnip; sorrow at the firebombing of Dresden; escaping from the dreaded Russians with the help of his brother -- these powerful images will never be forgotten by readers of this superb memoir of a young soldier taken prisoner by the Nazis in the Battle of the Bulge. The most striking image is the author's own P.O.W. mug shot on the book cover, with his eyes staring at us from across the many decades since millions of Americans fought and hundreds of thousands died during World War II.
