This is the horror of World War II on the Eastern Front, as seen through the eyes of a teenaged German soldier. At first an exciting adventure, Guy Sajer’s war becomes, as the German invasion falters in the icy vastness of the Ukraine, a simple, desperate struggle for survival against cold, hunger, and above all, the terrifying Soviet artillery. As a member of the elite Gross Deutschland division, he fought in all the great battles, from Kursk to Kharkov. Sajer’s German footsoldier’s perspective makes THE FORGOTTEN SOLDIER a unique war memoir, the book that The Christian Scie

As the old saying goes, "War is hell." But it’s much more than that, as The Quotable Soldier reveals. This collection of quotations about war and soldiering is organized loosely by theme: "The Call to Battle," "Under Fire," "At Ease," "The Fallen," and so on. The comments date from ancient times to Desert Storm. They come from historic battlefields, including Thermopylae, Bunker Hill, Waterloo, the Somme, Iwo Jima, and Chosin Reservoir; and they were made by such famous battle-tested figures as Sun Tzu, Philip of Macedon, Clara Barton, Robert E. Lee, Winston Churchill, and Norman Schwarz
