Gold, Guts and Glory

This book is an excellent account of the advance of Patton's Third Army and the 90th Division (the "Tough 'Ombres" from Texas and Oklahoma) into Germany. A good addition to any WWII collection and accounts of life on the frontlines.

A vivid first-hand account!

Below the Salt is one of those books that is hard to put down. The author recreates the history of the 90th Division as they fight their way through France and into Germany. What makes this book a gem is the focus on the everyday struggles of the soldier. As an avid reader of WWII history, I learned alot from this book.
