Summary: Of moderate interest
Comment: I didn't read anything revealing or terribly funny in this book. I suppose it lends some balance to the dramatic tales -- like COmpany Commander -- and therefore exemplifies the boredom that fills so much of warfare and preparing for warfare.

I would have to say that there are fairly good reasons why it remained unpublished for so many years. It's simply not very interesting.

Rating: 5
Summary: How I laughed!
Comment: Don't know when I've laughed as much when reading as I have with "Shorty." Definitely recommended reading for anyone who served in World War II, regardless of branch of Service. Glad you finally put your memories--and mine--in print

Summary: A unique, valued contribution to World War II literature.
Comment: In 1946, Myron Sutton wrote down his experiences as a young World War II enlistee in the American Army. This six-food-five GI recorded a detailed, candid, "warts and all" story of life as an army radio man with the 70th Infantry Division out of Camp Adair, Oregon. From infantry and radio training in Alabama to advanced radio at Fort Benning, Georgia, then across the rough Atlantic in winter to combat in Europe, Sutton's memoir was set down during and immediately after the events he experienced. Finally brought into print after fifty years (and 30 other books he's written in the interim), Shorty And The Radio Men is a fascinating, often hilarious story of an ordinary soldier who got caught up in one misadventure after another as he tried to fit his 6 foot, 5 inch frame into equipment, jeeps, bunks, put tents, combat boots, and latrines designed for a five-foot tall army. Shorty And The Radio Men is a unique and highly recommended contribution to the growing body of World War II biographies and memoirs.
