This book synthesizes the wartime experiences of American combat soldiers, from the doughboys of World War I to the grunts of Vietnam. The author looks at what motivated these men to serve and how they were turned into soldiers.

Trade Review
A superb, compelling analysis of twentieth-century American combat troops that never loses sight of the individual soldier. An important, meticulously documented contribution to our understanding of men-at-arms. Rick Atkinson, Author Of An Army At Dawn And The Long Gray Line; ""Kindsvatter's book is based firmly on the first-hand accounts of combat by American soldiers and Marines of the World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam. He is a sensitive, skillful mediator between those writers and us."" Russell F. Weigley, Author Of The American Way Of War; ""A vivid portrayal of the savagery of war and its human dimensions."" Michael D. Doubler, Author Of Closing With The Enemy: How GIs Fought The War In Europe, 1944-1945
