Coming of Age
13. November 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Sacco's story captures the true feelings of naive young boys who, given little choice, evolve into men. It helped me to be reminded that during those war times, the military was much more basic than today and the soldiers less prepared and much less experienced with the outside world. The technology used in todays Middle East strategy is so amazing compared to the pole-climbing prepartion of the 92nd Signal Corps. The reader will gain a greater appreciation of how difficult it must have been to carry out daily operations. The arrival at Dachau in today's world would have set up immediate communication with media followed by an onslaught of command. But during those times, Sacco and his buddies were unhindered for hours to discover the horrific scene at Dachau making the experience much more moving and giving their war efforts meaning. The story is especially dear to me as my Dad was one of the characters. I have been given a look into a time of his life I could have known no other way, so the book is a true gift.

Boy to Man
19. Oktober 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Jack Sacco tells his father's story of an Italian-American son farming in Alabama, as he signs up for war in 1942. It was a different time, so put aside your recently acquired political correctness & go with the flow of how it was.
Inspired by Joseph Sacco's album of black & white snapshots he took from 1942 onwards as he & his buddies, as part of General Patton's army, rig lines for field telephones & keep communications going. Follow as they are moved through the European Theater -- through razed towns, behind enemy lines, into the worst winter in memory, until they finally reach Dachau where, amid the walking skeletons, the bodies stacked like cord wood, the stench from the crematorium chimneys & the left-over guards, Joe realizes what his mission really was.
RebeccasReads recommends WHERE THE BIRDS NEVER SING as a riveting biography of the ordinary, sometimes hilarious, often boring & always hair-raising adventures of one young soldier boy who did the right thing, fought the good fight, & came home a man.

Kudos to Jack.
8. Oktober 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I can't just say it was great. What an understatement that would be. The book is a funny, yet at times wrenching, transformation of innocence. I don't like war books or movies. They leave scars on my heart. But I'm glad I read this one. It was warm and endearing. You love Joe Sacco. It felt like I was there with him and it made me proud to be there for him. I think the book will touch anyone who reads it---whether it be the memories it conjures up of our own family, of the life we love in this country, of the desperate confusion of drastic moments, of the pangs of caring about people, or of empathy for our fellow man. It is an incredible affirmation of belonging to this country, of the men who serve, of life and family. You can't help but be affected.
