Brave Men (Spanish Edition)

Europa estaba en medio de la II Guerra Mundial. Cuando Estados Unidos se sumo, Ernie Pyle fue tambien. Mucho antes de que se transmitieran a diario imagenes de la Guerra en nuestros hogares, Pyle transmitia informes desde el frente de combate: seguia a los soldados en las trincheras, campos de batalla, hospitales de campana. Lo que vio lo describio con claridad, simpatia, y le dejo saber al publico los pasos de los soldados. Hubo en realidad dos guerras, John Steinbeck escribio en la revista Time: Una la de los mapas y la logistica, campanas, balistica, divisiones y regimientos y la otra, una guerra del que anoraba su casa, estaba cansado, era gracioso o violento, hombres comunes que lavaban las medias en sus cascos, se quejaban de la comida, el silbato en las ninas arabes, que lograron en el sucio negocio de la Guerra que el mundo los vea como nunca los vieron, hacerlo con humor, dignidad y coraje la guerra de Ernie Pyle"". / Europe was in the throes of World War II, and when America joined the fighting, Ernie Pyle went along. Long before television beamed daily images of combat into our living rooms, Pyles on-the-spot reporting gave the American public a firsthand view of what war was like for the boys on the front. Pyle followed the soldiers into the trenches, battlefields, field hospitals, and beleaguered cities of Europe. What he witnessed he described with a clarity, sympathy, and grit that gave the public back home an immediate sense of the foot soldiers experience. There were really two wars, John Steinbeck wrote in Time magazine: one of maps and logistics, campaigns, ballistics, divisions, and regiments and the other a ""war of the homesick, weary, funny, violent, common men who wash their socks in their helmets, complain about the food, whistle at Arab girls, or any girls for that matter, and bring themselves through as dirty a business as the world has ever seen and do it with humor and dignity and courageand that is Ernie Pyles war."" This collection of Pyles columns detailing the fighting in Europe in 194344 brings that warand the living, and dying, moments of historyhome to us once again.
