"This story about The Stars and Stripes has its World War II beginning shortly after the Allied landings in Normandy and just prior to the Battle of the Bulge. The author, in Paris, without a pass, stopped by the Herald-Tribune, where the Paris edition of Stripes was being published, and talked himself into a job and a transfer to the staff. It was either that or going to the stockade on a charge of being AWOL." Book# NF16393 $45.00
