Joe was with the Easy Co 17th Infantry Rgt during the time period of his book.

The book is divided into sections that parallel the Peace Talks and the horrendous fighting taking place, right up to the very last day of the war. The talks, the fighting and personal narratives give both the uninitiated and the veterans a hard look at what it took to end the war.

The horrible casualties of the last 6 months of the war are detailed. The 17th suffered 18 percent of all its casualties in this last year of the war.

Review:

"An interesting, hard-hitting, and technically accurate work which brings to light the real hardships of soldiers in combat."
