MANY NARRATIVE ACCOUNTS of men in combat during World War II have conveyed thc horrors and emotions ofwarfarc. Howevcr, not many reveal in such an intimate way the struggle of innocent youth to adapt to the primitivc code of "kill or bc killed," to transform from lads into combat soldiers.

Another River, Another Town is the story of John P. Irwin, a teenage tank gunner whose idealistic desire to achicve heroism is shattered.by the incredibly different view of life thc world of combat demands. Hc comes to the realization that the rcalm of warfare has almost nothing in common with the civilian life fi-om which he has come.

The interminable fighting, dirt, fhtigue, and hunger make thc war seem endless. Ill addition to the killing and destruction on the attlefield,Irwin and his crew arc caught up in the unbelievable depravity they encounter at Nordhausen Camp, where slave laborers are compelled towork themselves to death manufacturing theinfamous V-rockets that have been causing somuch destruction in London, and that arc expected one day to devastate Washington, D.C.

At the end of the war, thc sense of victory is,fbr thcse men, ovcrshadowed by the intense joy and relief they experience in knowing that the fighting is at last over.
