7/23    I just finished reading Citizen Soldiers by Stephen E. Ambrose.
        It's a sort of GI view history of WWII in Europe from D-day to
        V-E day.  I thought it was pretty good, very balanced and has a
        lot of good stories.
        \_ Look at The Good War by Studs Terkel, Once There Was A War by
           John Steinbeck, Guadalcanal Diary by Richard Tregaskis, Ernie Pyle's
           War, by Ernie Pyle, and any WWII cartoons by Bill Mauldin--I think
           you might enjoy them all tremendously.  -John

           \_ AP from Syria works fine, too, and those AP shells smuggled
              out of Afghanistan are da BOMB.
              \_ Out of Afghanistan?  No.  They're going _into_ Afghanistan
