A G.I. Named Joe is one man's story of his life during World War II. Joseph Dewhirst spent three plus years in the South Pacific as a U.S. Army infantryman in the 147th Army Infantry Regiment. This book makes his experiences during the war real for all of us. Mr. Dewhirst's descriptive style of writing gives us an insight into all aspects of war ... from the rigors of boot camp to the horrors of combat ... from the detailed description of a military breakfast to a meeting with a whale. Especially appealing are the human interest stories written about fellow soldiers and other people Mr. Dewhirst met during the war. A G.I. Named Joe will certainly appeal to those hoping to gain a greater understanding of World War II and the experiences of the men who served in the South Pacific Theatre.
