About the Book

Follow the steps of a World War II Soldier… from training in the U.S., to criss-crossing the Atlantic Ocean to avoid enemy detection, to his final destination a half a world away in Iran.

The author, Zane Wood, gives vivid accounts of "Army Life" not ordinarily revealed. The antics in the soldiers' barracks to frightening encounters with Russian Soldiers.

The Military Truck Maintenance is an awesome and complex operation. Zane gives incredible details of how the entire fleet of Army Vehicles is maintained on a daily basis.

What do guys do on their time off in a city in a foreign land? This book tells all.

The author writes in a down-to-earth fashion of his life. From birth in a sod house, to life growing up on the wind-swept plans of Nebraska, to a horrible and deadly car accident that changed the course of his life. Zane invites you to listen in on his "homey" and exciting Voyage With The U.S. Quartermaster.
