Hugh Warren West was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1942, during the height of the Second World War. Following nearly two years of intensive training in the United States, West traveled to Europe with the 14th Armored Division. This combat memoir covers fighting in Alsace, crossing the Rhine, breaching the Siegfried line, and battling throughout Southern Germany. Based on official unit histories and exhaustive interviews with West, this soldier’s story is rich in personal anecdotes that run the gamut from humor to horror.
