A Canadian infantry officer's memoir of his time in Sicily and Italy during World War II, published in 1975. As the combat becomes more and more difficult, and as the narrator's mental state deteriorates, the prose becomes more and more fantastic. The ending is abrupt.

The Newsweek review for this book when it was published in 1979 said: "Reads like a novel and fixes images in the mind like a movie." I agree with that assessment. Perhaps I will write more of a review when I'm not so emotionally bowled over. The book had a profound impact on me.
