Synopsis

No other book on D-Day can approach Currahee! Among all the accounts by officers and war correspondents it stands alone: the only account of D-Day by a private soldier who lived through the fighting.

Told simply but with total recall, this is the combat narrative of a 19-year-old paratrooper who took part in the momentous invasion of Normandy as a PFC in the 506th Parachute Regiment and fought almost continuously for five days and nights in the battle to secure the beachhead.

In Currahee! Burgett tells of killing and heroism, the confusion of war and the shock of death, as he presents his stunning eyewitness account of D-Day--living through an experience he could never forget.
