In this second volume, he recounts more unforgettable stories from the last of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who fought the most dreadful war in history. They were the Greatest Generation, but they were also ordinary men, sharing in all of humanity's weaknesses and flaws while trying to respond to the call of duty. That rifle brought out some dark and painful secrets.
