Based on personal documents such as letters and diaries this book 'provides a compelling account of American soldiers experiences of Europe during world war 2'. For the most part the Americans were appalled by the political cynicism, economic stagnation, and cultural decadence of Europe, not to mention the woeful shortcomings of plumbing systems, the lack of hygiene, and the strangeness of the land in which they were fighting.
