Voyage to War

Voyage to War is a soldier’s ground level view of Allied combat in Normandy, Brest, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany in the last year of World War II. George Wagner describes in harrowing detail the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest which nearly decimates his company. He traces the final drive of his unit across the Rhine River which eventually leads to the surrender of Germany and its occupation by U.S. forces. This is war presented in its most personal and horrify terms. Voyage to War is a must read for those who wish to understand the reality of combat for the average GI in the European Theater of War. pp 160
