Gid B. Adkisson, Jr., was one of eight million American men swept into the U.S. Army during the turbulence that was World War II. An earnest West Texas farm boy attending Texas A&M, Gid Jr. found himself vying for a lieutenant's commission a full year before he was scheduled to graduate, and fighting in France, Luxembourg, and Germany as an infantry company officer between August 1944 and the end of the war. The book chronicles his combat experiences plus those of ten of the men who served with him. He was recuperating from his third combat wound when peace finally settled on Europe. The book closes with reflections on how the war impacted his life.
