Summary: Pyle was an ordinary man who wrote abou ordinary men at war.
Comment: Ernie Pyle was the perfect writer for the task of covering World War II from the perspective of the common man. His roots in rural Indiana coupled with his desire to see the world and tell the stories of ordinary people engaged in extraordinary endeavors such as combat helped him establish a style that has no equal. I found this book in a used bookstore in Palo Alto, Calif., and once I began reading I couldn't stop. His words are a tribute to a generation that truly did save the world. If you ever see one for sale, grad it. It's a real gem.

Summary: Described with clarity, sympathy, and grit
Comment: Ernie Pyle was one of the most effective and well known battlefield correspondents of World War II. Pyle's on-the-spot reporting gave the American public a firsthand view of what war was like for their boys on the front lines he followed American service men into the trenches, battlefield combats, field hospitals, and war ravaged cities of Europe. What he witnessed he was able to vividly record and describe with clarity, sympathy, and grit to give his readership an immediate and accurate sense of the foot soldier's experience. Brave Men is a collection of Pyle's wartime newspaper columns detailing the 1943-44 fighting in Europe and endures as a fitting monument to both one correspondent's courage and journalistic expertise and the battlefield experiences of a generation of young American soldiers in the European theater. Tragically, when Pyle went to the South Pacific to continue his wartime reportage, a sniper's bullet took his life in 1945. Brave Men is an essential title for any personal, academic, or community library World War II collection.

Summary: As Close as You Can Get
Comment: This book is as close as you can get to knowing what it was like to being in WWII. I found the book very interesting. Their were some very funny stories that made me chuckle; there were plenty of stories that made me realize how bad it really was over there in Europe. Ernie followed a lot of different "groups" in the Army, Army Airforce, and Navy. His writings flow very well. Once in a while there is a short column that made me wonder why did they include this in the book; it was if the publisher just "through" it in there just because; this is the reason for the 4 stars. It doesn't take long to realize why Ernie was so popular with "The Guys" and while they considered him, one of THEM!!!
