| Notes/Review |
There is no narrative here, no characters inhabit this book, there is no plot and no history.
This is a random collection of answers to the question "What did you do in the war, grampa?" The book is divided into chapters or sections, each with an entry in the table of contents and none of them as long as a page. They're in no particular order, with events from World War II mixed in with the Korean War, with some tidbits from service in late-50's Europe thrown in for good measure.
There are a surprising number of photographs included, so in a way this is much more like a scrapbook than anything else. |
