The Tip of the Spear: A WWII Rifleman in Patton's Army (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781300871101)

This book is dedicated to the "Greatest Generation." Those individuals who came of age after WWI, enduring the stock market crash of 1929 which wiped out millions of dollars of their savings, a collapsing economy which led to the great depression and massive unemployment. Despite those hardships, these individuals stood tall, rallying to their countries call both at home and on foreign soil. They took up arms in defense of democracy and beat back tyranny. Today, because of their sacrifices and courage they have become known as the greatest generation. This book is about that generation's sacrifices in defense of our democracy as seen through the eyes of eighteen-year-old Robert Philip Kingsbury, a World War II rifleman in General Patton's army, who was literally at the tip of the spear in that fight for democracy.
