About the Book

This is a fast-paced novel based on the author's own experiences during World War Two. It begins and ends on the IRT Subway in New York City. Between subway rides, the story combines humour, excitement, tragedy and history to provide a vivid picture of what it was like for a young G.I. in the Pacific war.
