Ernie Pyle was a Pulitzer Price winning journalist. His book, Brave Men, published in 1944, is a first hand account of life during the war from the perspective of the soldiers. This is a collection of edited newspaper columns written by Pyle while he was in Europe during WWII from 1943-1944. I altered the pages of the book and have presented it in this form as a memorial to the lives lost during this time in WWII. In fact, this volume was published just a year before Pyle lost his own life in the South Pacific in 1945.
