Recon Scout: Story of World War II Mass market paperbound - 2001
by Fred H. Salter
From the Sahara Desert in Africa to the plains of Tunisia and the bloody battlefields of Sicily, the author served under Patton and executed daring nightly solo missions, risking his life to gather vital intelligence needed by the U.S. Army during World War II. Through this tough, clear-eyed account, Salter shares the experiences--tragic and glorious--that will haunt him forever.
From the publisher
First line
The muffled sound of their boots on the cobblestones ahead told me it was a German patrol, not being overly cautious, because they were still behind their own lines.
From the jacket flap
HE LIVED ON THE ABYSS OF DEATH
AS A RECON SCOUT IN WORLD WAR II.
From Africa's Sahara Desert, where he met Churchill, to the plains of Tunisia, where he served under Patton, Fred Salter executed daring nightly solo missions, risking his life to gather the vital intelligence the U.S. Army desperately needed. After the battlefields of Sicily came the long, grueling effort to wrench Italy from the grip of the Nazis, and the bloody nightmare of Monte Cassino, the longest battle Americans fought during the war.
Salter spares no one, least of all himself, in this tough, clear-eyed account. Refusing to shy away from the horrors and fears of combat, he shares experiences-tragic and glorious-that will haunt him forever.
