    "Just finished reading Ernie Pyle's 1943 book, "Your War" about the North African campaign he covered as a correspondent. (He mentions a lot of New Yorkers by address in the homespun tale, fyi) Surprisingly, he was very complimentary of French forces...those who weren't shooting at the Allies anyway....A very good read. Ernie Pyle survived the European war and was covering the Pacific story when he was killed by a Japanese machine gunner. You can see a picture of Ernie laying dead by a road on some Pacific island by Googling same. All DB staff should know about Ernie Pyle." wow, i read this post and had to think long and hard if i didn't write it and just forget for some reason. I just read Your War too...he mentions a barber who lived five blocks north of me (50 years ago...20 years before I was born). even though this guy was defintiely a simpleton, and his books are definitely not meant to be thought provoking or anythihng, they do have historical value, and make good reads. Brave Men was pretty good too. I go to the Bloomingdale branch, and the Pyle books are all in the little "war" section they have towards the fiction wall.
