Title: Visions from a Foxhole : A Rifleman in Patton's Ghost Corps by WILLIAM FOLEY ISBN: 0-89141-812-1 Publisher: Presidio Press Pub. Date: 03 June, 2003 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (6 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent and frightening
Comment: Foley does an excellent job of guiding the reader through the hell of being a rifleman in Patton's Ghost Corps. He describes his daily life and thoughts as he makes his way as a replacement soldier into Germany. There is no glory in war nor is there any flag waving. He simply tells the the graphic and gory truth to his daily life. His writing on his foxhole partner Dan leaves the reader feeling that no stronger bond between men could ever be formed outside of combat. Get this book. You will not be able to put it down.
Rating: 5
Summary: A unique account - a rare perspective!
Comment: Foley's art can stand alone to tell the gruelling story from a perspective on WWII rarely seen.
Aside from a few paragraphs repeated (first edition), the story is constantly moving and the illustration by the author further establishes the human drama.
Not a war diary but a recanting of terrible and sometimes funny WWII memories. This is not "old war stories". This was life and death, day to day.
This is required reading!
Rating: 5
Summary: Wow!
Comment: I've read hundreds of World War II memoirs and none have given as vivid a picture of combat from the grunt point of view as this book. He does what few memoir writers accomplish: he gives us a brutal vision of the inner feelings and changes that take place when a young man is thrust into combat. If you're going to buy any WW II memoir, make it this one.
