i like steinbecks writing, though i‘m not really into the theme of ww2. i‘m kind of excited to read east of eden though, since i still have it at home

Pretty interesting collection of slice-of-life anecdotes from traveling with the troops in Europe during WWII.

Son historias corrientes de la guerra narradas por Steinbeck cuando fue corresponsal bélico. Está chuli, es muy humano, los mejores capítulos son los que se centran en las tonterías y vidas corrientes de los soldados, o en los vehículos con nombres e historias.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would! In the introduction, Steinbeck states that, due to heavy censoring and other factors, this work is not the most truthful depiction of what life was like while fighting in WII. That being said, I believe that reading this work in conjunction with other more honest and uncensored recounts of the war help bridge the truth and untruth of the realities of war and the ideas spread by the War Effort. I am looking forward to reading more Steinbeck soon.

not for me
