The Boys' Crusade: The American Infantry in Northwestern Europe, 1944-1945 (Modern Library Chronicles)

The Boys’ Crusade is the great historian Paul Fussell’'s unflinching and unforgettable account of the American infantryman’s experiences in Europe during World War II.

Based in part on the author’s own experiences, it provides a stirring narrative of what the war was actually like, from the point of view of the children—for children they were—who fought it.
