First is “A Strange Victory.” The Story of WW ll and the Life of a Young Man Recently Drafted Into Service. “JAKE” was what they called him.

But wars are never really over in the lives of those who have suffered from it. We were true friends, and it was Jake’s earnest desire that I should try to make something out of the notes.
