Life, to the nth degree, is not fair
By dewell
As might be expected for a book written in so short a time, it is uneven. But the better parts are among the best ever written about World War II. I repeat, the best, the best, the best.

Lacks clarity and failed to engage
By John E. Larsen
I know this book is extremely popular with many but for the life of me I couldn't understand why.
Carter served with C Co, 1st battalion, 504th PIR from Africa and into Germany. He wrote his account straight after the war, though his brother completed the editing due to Carters death from cancer in April 1947. This is not a memoir in the same sense as most others, it is more of a novel, though Carter writes in the first person. It is also primarily the story of his platoon too, rather than his own story.
Carter jumps into Sicily, his unit being the one which was heavily fired upon by allied ships. There is a little combat but most is in Italy, starting with Salerno and ending with Anzio. Two thirds of the book are about his time here. Following Italy he participates in Market Garden and the Bulge where he is wounded. His account stops here but his brother adds that he returned to his unit before the end, returning to the US in June 1945 (he'd have had a lot of points!).
As I've said above, this is not the standard memoir. There is virtually nothing about Carters background, training or his personal thoughts. It is essentially a platoon's story as seen through the eyes of the men. Carter refers to most by nickname and I felt that this had the effect of limiting my connection with them. Some of this was to disguise identities, some characters being amalgams. Much of what is written is about non-combat antics. There's lots of fist fighting each other, stealing booze or being bizarre in some way. It seemed caricatured to me. I found it hard to recognise these soldiers. They seemed so different to those in the other memoirs I've read. There is a lot of slang which is Ok but many printing errors, random numbers etc, which is not.
Choosing to write in this style is problematic for me. The combat is distant and impersonal. Carter barely writes about his own actions. For much of the book I thought he was a medic. Almost everything is told through the actions of the others. He won the Silver and Bronze Stars but never mentions what he did to earn these. Others have done the same of course but here we know so little of Carter to start with. Indeed, the most revealing material is provided by his brother in the epilogue. I suspect, like others, he has primarily written to commemorate his comrades. There is the flavour of combat, attitudes to `Krautheads' and sadness at comrades lost but it is somewhat removed and didn't have the same clarity and impact as most memoirs have. This said, there is a real emotional punch in the last few chapters.
Carter was a well educated man and a fair writer and he clearly deliberately chose to portray his story in this particular way.. It's an angle that doesn't really appeal to me but given the author's experiences and his prompt recording of them, it must reflect the nature of small group combat in an accurate way. (Someone suggested that he himself is actually the `Arab'). I think his intention was to convey the rough atmosphere of a combat platoon as he had seen it. If so, he does this well enough but I'm not sure it will work for all modern readers. Though there are many battles described, the exchanges between the men seemed to dominate the text. Some of the combat stories recounted seemed a bit like urban legends but perhaps this only appeared so because Carter wrote so very little about his own actions that he seemed more observer than participant. My recommendation - Of some interest.
