Riassunto

I served with the 7th Infantry Division in the Pacific back in 1945 and 1946 and that, I believe, is what inspired me to write this story. But this is not a war story, not at all, even though all the action takes place in wartime America in 1944. It is, rather, a salty tale about the trials and tribulations of a young man who was caught up in the wartime draft of that era. I mention my military service only to lend credence to some of the events that take place in this story. I took pains to express myself in simple, everyday language throughout the book, and used easy to understand words and phrases to make a point in various situations. The book itself is made up of interrelated comic situations absorbing events and circumstances told in a ribald fashion, and which I tout as sophisticated adult humor.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

My full name is Jerome Paul Washnis. As a rule, everybody calls me Jerry. But in my younger years, as might be expected, most of my friends and acquaintances called me Wash. My name is neither common or unusual; its just a name. I only mention it here because, as an unknown writer, I feel that it is the right thing to do. To introduce myself to the reader, that is.
