Father Duffy's Story a Tale of Humor and Heroism, of Life and Death with the Fighting Sixty-Ninth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781594628665)

On one occasion, after having had to swallow an exceptionally large dose of complimentary eloquence, I stated that I was going to borrow a title for my book from my favorite philosopher, Mr. Dooley, and call it "Alone in Europe," The title that has been given it sounds almost as egoistic as that; but there will be found in these pages other names than my own. Indeed, objection may be made from a literary point of view that the book bristles with names. I could not write my story otherwise. I knew these men, and what they did, and my only regret is that I have undoubtedly overlooked some, especially amongst replacements, whose names and deeds should be mentioned. Battles are not fought by commanding officers alone, >not even by chaplains unaided; and the men who do the fighting usually get little personal credit for their valor.
