The other review by "A Reader" is definately NOT about this book. Imperial Intelligence Agent Brion Bayard (formerly of the dimension/timeline we inhabit) finds himself in an mostly unexplored and unknown region of space and time after accidentially encountering beings from another dimension line setting up an invasion from a "dead" dimension line very close to the "prime" Zero Zero Stockholm line to which he was abducted in an earlier book. The whole Brion Bayard series is excellent and requires wrapping your brain around some seriously weird stuff.

This is a very good book that dispells the notion that World War II was a "good war". It was a horror that was almost unspeakable. This is an autobiographical account of the european conflict from a batallion surgeon attatched to an infantry batallion. This is a very realistic portrayal of the hardships endured by the citizen soldier from the US. There is no false sentimentality here. This work is along the line of the work done by Paul Fussell. Both of these authors were there in combat and both deride the empty way in which our society has degraded the fighting man by making him look like "John Wayne". As everyone in the US Army knows the biggest insult that drill instructors give is to call someone "John Wayne".
