There, Lieutenant Adkins and his fellow soldiers took part in light hedgerow fighting that served to shake the division down and familiarize the troops and their officers with combat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first real test came on August 20, 1944, when the 2d Battalion, 317th Infantry, attacked high ground near Argentan during the Allied drive to seal huge German forces in the Falaise Pocket. While scouting for mortar positions in the woods, Andy Adkins ran into a group of Germans and shot one of them dead with his carbine. This baptism in blood taught him the answer to a question every novice combatant wants to hear: He was cool under fire, capable of killing when facing the enemy. He later wrote, \"It was a sickening sight, but having been caught up in the heat of battle, I didn't have a reaction other than feeling I had saved my own life.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThereafter, the 2d Battalion, 317th Infantry, took part in a succession of bloody battles across France. Ineptly led through the tentures of several battalion commanders, the unit suffered grievous losses even as it took hills and towns away from brave and well-led German veterans. In the course of fighting graphically portrayed in this soldier's memoir, Andy Adkins acted with remarkable skill and courage, placing himself at the forefront of the action whenever he could. His extremely aggressive delivery of critical supplies to a cutoff unit in an embattled French town earned him a Bronze Star Medal, the first such award in his battalion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou Can't Get Much Closer Than This is at heart a young soldier's story of war. In vibrant, piercing terms, a junior officer's coming of age in battle is the compelling focus of page after page of action sequences that add up to a solid description of what modern warfare is really all about. Before his death in 19--, Andy Adkins was able to face his memory of war as bravely as he faced the war itself. He set it all down on paper, honest, unflinching, and straightforward. In 1944 and 1945, young Lieutenant Adkins did his duty to his men and his country, and much later he did his duty to his readers. Indeed, you really can't get much closer than this.","brand":"WW2 Bunker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44298886545510,"sku":"9781932033281","price":16.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4926\/4998\/files\/IRjWmNQxc1vtAxr7wjeJcpEjKwNn8vMuQtReiyvIVrU.jpg?v=1767230514"},{"product_id":"pictorial-history-of-the-second-world-war-volume-iii-fifth-year","title":"PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR, VOLUME III, FIFTH YEAR","description":"\u003cp\u003ePICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR, VOLUME III, FIFTH YEAR (WM.
