David Kenyon Webster's memoir is a clear-eyed, emotionally charged
chronicle of youth, camaraderie, and the chaos of war. Relying on
his own letters home and recollections he penned just after his
discharge, Webster gives a first hand account of life in "E
Company, 101st Airborne Division," crafting a memoir that resonates
with the immediacy of a gripping novel.
From the beaches of Normandy to the blood-dimmed battlefields of
Holland, here are acts of courage and cowardice, moments of
irritating boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror, and
pitched urban warfare. Offering a remarkable snapshot of what it
was like to enter Germany in the last days of World War II, Webster
presents a vivid, varied cast of young paratroopers from all walks
of life, and unforgettable glimpses of enemy soldiers and hapless
civilians caught up in the melee. Parachute Infantry is at once
harsh and moving, boisterous and tragic, and stands today as an
unsurpassed chronicle of war--how men fight it, survive it, and
remember it.
