Book Review: Linderman's The World Within War
[ send me this paper ]
George Linderman’s world was radically changed because of his combat experience in World War II and he wanted to present this information to the American people, not to shock them, but to provide insight into the reality of war for one relatively small group, combat soldiers. In the telling of their story, Linderman brings a new sensitivity to many of the things civilians and non-combat personnel would never experience or understand about these men. Some of these things include defining a new sense of home in worlds that are unfamiliar and hazardous, performing horrific acts upon other humans, risking life for people the soldier would not talk to in the states, forming strong bonds with a very few, and learning to depend on luck as if it were the only force operating in the universe. Linderman gets his authority from combat veterans diaries and books so that the combat veterans speak for themselves. 1 work cited. jvWarWIW.rtf
