Publisher's Synopsis
Join Sgt. Angier and his men in the Vosges Mountains of France, as they advance towards Alsace, take Bitche, stronghold on the famous Maginot Line, and enter Germany itself. Angier heard from his draft board, after he had enlisted and was overseas, that they had classified him 4F, hence the title of this book. "The rifleman fights without promise of either reward or relief. Behind every river there's another hill-and behind that hill, another river. "After weeks or months in the line only a wound can offer him the comfort of safety, shelter, and a bed. "Those who are left to fight, fight on, evading death but knowing that with each day of evasion they have exhausted one more chance for survival. Sooner or later, unless victory comes this chase must end on the litter or in the grave." -General Omar Bradley Contents Making Men from Boys Trip Across Hit the Line Wiped Out Bitche Heilbronn Surrender Aftermath The Author 22 photos 3 illustrations 2 maps 6 documents
