One Soldier's Story by John Bascom

This book details the wartime experience of the author's father, John Gay Bascom, during the Allied campaign to defeat the Nazis in northern Italy during World War II. It spotlights the danger, fear, deprivations and ultimately the the sense of pride in victory that our soldiers went through. Rather than a tale of medal-winning heroism, it depicts the grind our troops endured in serving their country during a time of war.
