Arn’s War: Memoirs of a World War II Infantryman, 1940 - 1946
Edward C. Arn
This memoir of World War II, written by Edward C. Arn, an infantry
captain who served in Company F, 2nd Battalion, 119th Infantry
Regiment, 30th Infantry Division, takes readers on a wartime journey
in the European Theater of Operations. It offers a clear and honest
account of combat from the viewpoint fo a sensitive and acute
“civilian in uniform.” Arn entered combat and proved his worth in the
hedgerows of Normandy, the Battle of Mortain, the push through
northern France and the Netherlands, the Battle of the Bulge, the
Ardennes Campaign, and the invasion of the German heartland to
the Elbe River.
During his eleven months on the front lines, Arn underwent a
transformation form an apprehensive novice into a battle-tested
veteran. Arn writes in a straightforward and engaging manner that
avoids false sentimentality or romanticism. Instead, he gives readers
keen insights into the daily life of soldiers locked in gruesome events
far beyond their experience and describes how it feels to be under
fire, to suffer a wound, to agonize over the death of friends, to endure
true suffering, to sacrifice, and to survive. Edited and annotated by
Jerome Mushkat, this memoir is an exceptional account of a citizen-
soldier who survived his baptism by fire during World War II.
Soft Cover, 225 pages, several b/w photos, maps
