Book Reviews of Company K (Library Alabama Classics)
Book Review: A Masterful Piece of Work on War--Real War and Its Effect on Those Who Fight It
Summary: 5 Stars
Old Men Still Send Young Men to War.
This is the story of those young men who fight those wars. Their stories, not of officers and gentlemen, but of the Dough Boys themselves.
Written as fiction, Company K is, in reality, the true life stories of author William March and his fellow soldiers in Company K. Stories of courage, valor, of fear and cowardice,needless sacrifice and in one case outright murder as enemy soldiers are gunned down in a ravine rather than go through the trouble of getting them to the rear.
This is not about a John-Wayne-war; it is about Sherman's war, the "War-Is-Hell" kind of war, told by men who actually fought it.
It is about American soldiers, but it could be about any soldier under any flag representing any country. It is universal in nature, and could have been written about any and all wars.
It is a masterful piece of work. You may never look at the glory and valor of war in the same way again...And that's a good thing!
