This is a book I would recommend to anyone. This book is about World War II and how a minor league baseball player enrolls in the army. The reason I would recommend this book to anyone is it is very interesting to learn about the war while following a adventure. One good part about this book is that is shows letters that him and his wife send back and fourth. All in all, this is a very good book that everyone in my opinion should read.

There are few things Roman loves as much as baseball, but his country is at the top of the list. So when it looks like the United States will be swept up into World War II, he turns his back on baseball and joins the US Army.
Roman doesn't mind. As it turns out, he is far more talented with a tank than he ever was with a baseball. And he is eager to drive his tank right into the field of battle, where the Army is up against the fearsome Nazis of the Afrika Korps.
The North African terrain is like nothing Roman has ever known, and desert warfare proves brutal. As Roman drives his team deeper into disputed territory, one thing becomes very clear: Life in wartime is a whole new ball game.
