Is that book "The Forgotten Soldier"? Not to be rude but at 300+ pages it became kind of redundant.

A synopsis:

It's really hot and dusty here.
There sure are a lot of Russians.
We mow them down by the thousand and another thousand come after them.

It's really cold here.
There sure are a lot of Russians.
We mow them down by the thousand and another thousand come after them.
They have a lot of artillery.

It's really, really cold here.
There sure are a hell of a lot of Russians.
We mow them down by the thousand and another thousand come after them.
They have a hell of a lot of artillery.

It's really hot and dusty here.
We're all hungry.
There sure are a hell of a lot of Russians.
We mow them down by the thousand and another thousand come after them.
They have a hell of a lot of artillery.

It's really cold. I mean it's really f*cking cold.
We're all really, really hungry.
There sure are a hell of a lot of Russians.
We mow them down by the thousand and another thousand come after them.
They have a hell of a lot of artillery.

And so on....

Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
