Description: SOLDIERING FOR FREEDOM, A GI's Account Of World War II by Herman J. Obermayer. LIKE NEW First Edition stated hardcover, 2005. Only a small percentage of the 16 million servicemen called up during WWII actually experienced combat. Most experienced training, duty stations, and tedious assignments. Though not as exciting, the reflections on these aspects of the war reveal a world seldom seen. In a series of descriptive letters home and later connective commentary, the author, a young enlisted soldier and astute observer, chronicled his French and German reactions to the American occupation force, race relations among enlisted men, and the problems of supplying troops as they crossed Europe after the Normandy invasion. A Jew himself, he witnessed the leaders of the Third Reich and wrote about the Nuremberg trials. A rare and valuable record of the most common but little-known face of war behind the battle lines. LIKE NEW First Edition stated hardcover, unread with pages and edges clean and unmarked. Binding tight. Jacket is in near mint condition with only minor scuffing. 6.25" x 9.5." Map, many photos, and text. 324 pgs.
