Download With the 41st Division in the Southwest Pacific: A Foot Soldier's Story AudioBook Free
In the extensive literature of the next World Warfare, there are surprisingly few accounts of fighting in the southwest Pacific, fewer still by common infantrymen. This memoir, written with a straightforward and direct credibility that is exceptional indeed, employs a foot soldier's career from basic training to mustering out. It takes the listener into the jungles and caves of New Guinea and the Philippines through the long marketing campaign to earn the war against Japan. From basic training at Camp Roberts through combat, job, and the long trip home, Francis Catanzaro's account instructs of the pleasure, misery, cruelty, and terror of combat, and of the uneasy dullness of jungle camp life. A member of the famed 41st Infantry Brigade, the "Jungleers," Catanzaro saw combat at Hollandia, Biak, Zamboanga, and Mindanao. He was a part of the Japanese job force and creates with sense about living among his previous enemies and of your choice to drop the atom bomb. With the 41st Section in the Southwest Pacific is a robust, gritty, and moving narrative of the life of your soldier during some of the most difficult fighting of World Warfare II.
