Unsung Valor - A. Harrison Cleveland
- A GI's Story of World War II
After the Allied victory in 1945, books by and about the major statesmen, generals, and heroes of World War II appeared regularly. Yet millions of American soldiers who helped achieve and secure victory slipped silently into civilian life, trying to forget the war and what they had done. Most remain unsung, for virtually none thought of themselves as exceptional. During the war ordinary soldiers had only done what they believed their country expected.
This veteran’s memoir reveals all aspects of military life and sings of those valorous but ordinary soldiers who achieved the victory.
