商品簡介
Prize-winning journalist C. Brian Kelly creates a factually compelling human interest lens of World War II, bringing to life the triumph and tragedy of the second world war. Readers will discover the stories of those like American sailor Freddie John Falgout, who was hit by a shell aimed at low-flying Chinese planes.
The only one killed, and by a fragment only the size of a dime that had struck his heart, Freddie was the first American casualty of the entire war.
"Concise, crisply written, and revealing, this book will appeal to veterans, World War II buffs, and history students."
