    The Forgotten Soldier by Buy Sajer

    I'm reading this for about the fifth time...it's a great book, unusual that it's from a Germanicon soldier's point of view.

    I really suggest you read it. You can get it from Amazon.com for about $12.00.

    Read it myself and enjoyed it.

    Wonder how it would of went for him if the Germanicon's had won?

    With a Frenchicon parent would of he been vilified at home or praised?

    I first encountered this book in 2006. It was one of the books I read while on vacation. Since then I have read all or part of it several times. It is a well written first person account of Sajer's experience of serving in the Germanicon army during WWII. Many of the incidents described are riveting. His descriptions of training, equipment and the seemingly haphazard nature and quality of meals are most interesting. From what he writes, his experience in Russiaicon was a open wound that likely haunted him to the grave. Like "All Quiet On The Western Front," it would make a good movie. JMHO. Sincerely. BruceV.

    Sounds interesting, why don't you do a review in the Book and Video forum?

    Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
