an excellent book as are all of mr. burgetts.it gives you the sense of some of our country's best fighting men, their ability to carry out the mission in spite of being mis-dropped and scattered. if you ever have wondered what it was like for paratroopers ,you should read this book.

Some 15 years back I have read a paperback edition of this title. Few months later I gave this book as a gift to a commando whose unit were doing field exercise near my area. Years have passed by and thinking how absorbing Mr Burgett put his experience from the time he joined the tough basic training as a paratrooper and the fighting in Normandy in the early morning on D Day as well as his vivid recollection of battle throughout Europe and until the surrender of Germany. It makes me want to have the book for my library collection. Its somewhat equal to To Hell and Back and The Longest Day.
