Brought to Battle

A Novel of World War II

By: J. Scott Payne

Narrated by: John McLain

A young sergeant, recovered from battle against Rommel's Afrika Korps, is appointed leader of a dozen know-it-all draftees being poured into the Army's replacement pool. He toughens them into an effective team. As they land at Utah Beach, the Wehrmacht hands out its own bloody lessons. In minutes, one is dead and a second wounded, the onset of a pitiless 10-month ordeal.

In horrific combat from Normandy through the Bulge to the Elbe River, they learn to defeat a skilled and hardened enemy. All pay a steep price.

the action

when I first started reading it seemed that there was gonna be little too no action, further I read the more i got a mixture of action and talk. over all it wasn't bad

A nice one

I love world war 2 stories and this one was very interesting. It had action romance and everything in between. I hated “The Dick” and hoped he was killed by one of the Germans but the boys in Burma will get him.

Engaging characters, realistic dialogue, Pleasant narrator

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I love stories about World War II, but it’s hard to find something that is not too dry like a history book or too sappy like a romance novel. This was a perfect balance between realistic battle scenes and a nice backstory.

Absolutely Stunning!!

Wow what an amazing read!
Full of laughter & Sadness but overall a great story..

Outstanding

Outstanding on all fronts, made you understand what a soldier looks like. Hit on all cylinders horror, humor and empathy.
