Editorial Reviews

AMERICA IN WWII magazine
“William Irwin is well suited to write about the role of special forces in modern warfare. He draws from his own extensive experience in the US Army Special Forces to provide insight into the subjects of his books. Irwin recounts an exciting adventure. The prose is quick and the personal histories are very compelling. All the elements of good, readable history are here: triumph and tragedy, heroes and villains, the few against the many. Irwin needs no special effects wizardry to weave as captivating story of desperate fights in desperate times.”--(Michael Edwards, University of New Orleans)
From the Publisher
"[Irwin] vividly recounts many varieties of WWII experience.... A collection of well-told war stories." —-Publishers Weekly
