An Unsung Hero: Sniper's Target

A World War II draftees, Jimmy Ray Lewis landed in France as an infantry rifleman shortly after D-Day and joined the 104th Division of the U.S. Army--nicknamed the "Timberwolves". His experiences from boot camp in Arkansas to marching in the Victory Parade in San Francisco are detailed in this memoir of personal transformation from innocent recruit to hardened combat veteran. In 200 days of fighting on the front lines of Europe, Private Lewis details his fears of snipers, machine guns, and mine fields. His descriptions of artillery bombardments, liberating the Nordhausen work camp, and meeting the Russians reflect the thoughts of a man struggling with his own values in a world where life and death are the only constants.
