I originally read about Bob Slaughter in The Bedford Boys and when I saw this book for sale, I though it would be a good read. I was not disappointed.
Sgt. Slaughter was a prewar Guardsman in the prewar 116IR/29ID and assaulted Omaha Beach where he was a witness to the deaths of many of friends. He managed to remain with the 29th across Europe and was wounded several times.
