In his memoir of service as a radio operator aboard bombers in the South Pacific, James Baross insists that recalling and describing episodes of combat is something that is not proper to do. Nevertheless, his manuscript is valuable for its descriptions of daily G.I. life. Among the topics Baross covers: the eternal search for better food, a paralyzing experiment with homemade moonshine, gambling with a high-rolling Native American, buzzing General MacArthurs quarters, and the ever-popular R & R in Sydney, Australia.
