• "Here Is Your War is Ernie Pyle’s story of the soldiers’ first campaign against the enemy in North Africa. Pyle tells how people from a cross-section of America - ranches, inner cities, small mountain farms, and college towns - learned to fight a war. The Allied campaign and ultimate victory in North Africa were build on blood, brave deeds, sacrifice and needless loss, exotic vistas, endurance, homesickness, and an unmistakable American sense of humor." "It’s all here - the suspenseful landing at Oran; the risks taken daily by fighter and bomber pilots; grim, unrelenting combat in the desert and mountains of Tunisia; a ferocious tank battle that ended in defeat for the inexperienced Americans; and the final victory at Tunis. Pyle’s observations relate the full story of ordinary G.I.s caught up in extraordinary times."–BOOK JACKET
