The Last First Sergeant($50.00Value)

Description

From the landing at Normandy to Allied occupation after the war, US paratrooper Layton Black tells it like he experienced it. You'll laugh, you'll cry, but you won't forget these stories from the front lines of World War II. With "Blacky," you'll march in formation, crawl into foxholes, duck the bullets and listen to the conversation of everyday combat soldiers. This book is one of the finest first-hand accounts I've seen of what it was like being a front-line paratrooper -- Jerry W. Neff, executive director, The Wagnalls Memorial Library Layton Black grew up in Ohio, served the United States Army with guts and good humor in World War II and died many decades later before the book telling his war experiences was published.
