informative slow-paced

Pretty interesting collection of slice-of-life anecdotes from traveling with the troops in Europe during WWII.

Son historias corrientes de la guerra narradas por Steinbeck cuando fue corresponsal bélico. Está chuli, es muy humano, los mejores capítulos son los que se centran en las tonterías y vidas corrientes de los soldados, o en los vehículos con nombres e historias.

tried ro read it in english and it's not my first language = too hard, bit boring
medium-paced

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would! In the introduction, Steinbeck states that, due to heavy censoring and other factors, this work is not the most truthful depiction of what life was like while fighting in WII. That being said, I believe that reading this work in conjunction with other more honest and uncensored recounts of the war help bridge the truth and untruth of the realities of war and the ideas spread by the War Effort. I am looking forward to reading more Steinbeck soon.
