My War - Andy Rooney

I recently finished reading a book that a friend recommended to me. The late Andy Rooney put together a real collection of his experiences during WW II. If you like Andy or are interested in that War, this is really a good read. It's called My War and is available from amazon.com. Below is a quote of the book description from Amazon.

"Book Description
Publication Date: October 15, 2002
My War is a blunt, funny, idiosyncratic account of Andy Rooney's World War II. As a young, naïve correspondent for The Stars and Stripes, Rooney flew bomber missions, arrived in France during the D-Day invasion, crossed the Rhine with the Allied forces, traveled to Paris for the Liberation, and was one of the first reporters into Buchenwald. Like so many of his generation, Rooney's life was changed forever by the war. He saw life at the extremes of human experience, and wrote about what he observed, making it real to millions of men and women. My War is the story of an inexperienced kid learning the craft of journalism. It is by turns moving, suspenseful, and reflective. And Rooney's unmistakable voice shines through on every page."
