Summary: Excellent!
Review: This is a great WWII paratroopers book. It is very detailed with the fighting, which i love, but not very emotionally tuned in. His emotions are there, but he doesn't really voice his opinions that much. It's pretty straight forward, but with very good, detailed writing. For anyone who liked David Webster's writing in Parachute Infantry, I wouldn't really recommend this as a must read. It resembles the writing in Band of Brothers, but more personal, less technical, and easier to follow. I personally loved it and can't wait to read his other writings.

Summary: THROUGH A WARRIOR'S EYES
Review: War history is best told by those that lived it and not those that have only studied it. This is a point once again proven in Currahee. Donald Burgett tells his story of World War 2. His time with the 101st airborne makes for a moving and dramatic tale. The book overflows with the tales of his heroism and the courage of others. While Burgett downplays the danger he faced just by his straight forward style, the reader cant help but be amazed as he continuously dodges bullets, hides from artillery, and jumps from low flying airplanes. The book reads fast and is as entertaining today as the day it was published. It gives insight into the mind of a dedicated warrior and a glimpse into what must have faced those that fought so courageously in WWII. I highly recommend it for history buffs and for just about anyone that likes a good book.
