J. Glenn Gray entered the army as a private in May 1941, having been drafted on the same day he was informed of his doctorate in philosophy from Columbia University. He was discharged as a second lieutenant in October 1945, having been awarded a battlefield commission during fighting in France. Gray saw service in North Africa, Italy, France, and Germany in a counter-espionage unit.

Fourteen years after his discharge, Gray began to reread his war journals and letters in an attempt to find some meaning in his wartime experiences. The result is

Title: It is good that war is so terrible...
Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2002
Review: I have never experienced combat or even war for that matter, but it has always consumed my thoughts. (this would be the single point of contention between me and the author who believes no one gives thought to these matters.) To me, war constitutes all of man's extreme qualities and concentrates them into a single moment. Cruelty and Love, Fear and Courage, can coexist in the same moment and in the same person. If we want to really understand what it is that makes us human, I think we need to understand men in combat, or at least reflect on it and try. This observation is the first part of Gray's 'thesis'.
WWII interests me NOT because of the American involvement in what is hailed as "The GOOD War". I think that is mindnumbing nationalistic propaganda. MY interest in WWII stems from the fact that more civilians died in that war than did combatants. (Another point of the author) What is happening to our world's society? When did the line between combatant and innocent civilian disappear? Why? This is the second part of Gray's 'thesis'.
This book, written by a philosophy PhD (awarded his doctorate with the same mail that brought him his "greetings from the president" letter--his 'draft'), and a soldier who spent 4 years in the war, is an attempt to answer these questions as best he can. It was written in the last years of the Vietnam conflict. This is what prompted him to reflect on his own war experience and the quesitons philosophical, ethical, and moral which had haunted him. He does NOT make any claims that one war is better or different than the next. It is NOT a book about the glory of WWII and the vulgarity of Vietnam, like one might assume.
Gray witnessed the material and human destruction of war from all angles. Having been involved for so long in this otherworldly event transformed him. It disrupted the continutity of his life. While in the war, his past life was meaningless, and then when away from the war, his war years became faded and irrelevant. This was his greatest fear and the ultimate impetus for his writing. This is an important work.
He ends the book with Lee's quote..."It is good that war is so terrible, else we should grow to fond of it." [I paraphrased]

Title: A study that has aged well

Review: The profound morality of the author marks this as an artifact of its time. We can learn much by adopting the point of view of those who lived and observed WWII, and who escaped, alone, to tell us.

Title: Presentation Format Difficult to Read
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2021
Review: While I am sure the stories included in this book are probably very interesting I found it to be exceedingly difficult to read. The text is tiny and printed in what appears to be "bold" ink setting makes for eye strain problems and takes away from the book tremendously. I read many war history books and have never encountered one I couldn't read because of the physical presentation. It is a shame as the experiences shared are probably tremendous. I was not able to get past the first few pages because of the eye strain.

Title: RMD - The Warriors
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018
Review: I truly had no idea what I expected to read. I was reading about the famous E Company of the 101st, "Band of Brothers". This (as The Warriors, not the full title) book was referred to many times and of course my interest was peck. Before I knew it, I was interested and continued to read. Many times I put the book down (IPad) and started to reflect on myself (I have not experienced combat) and my U.S. Army experiences, mostly my training and how I might have acted. Of course I can only speculate but I can see more of myself as a man. Anyway, I believe anyone will get a lot out of the read.
