One Soldier's War is every soldier's war. PFC Alton Haight's story could have been written by any one of the millions of Allied soldiers who left their families to fight in a war far from home. It is the story of a young soldier who spent his days waiting for marching orders, for direction, for information that would impact his life. As you read Haight's spare and sometimes poignant words, first in letters to his mother and then in the daily scribblings of a soldier on the battlefield, you will gain a perspective on what life was like for a World War II soldier assigned to an anti-aircraft artillery battery. A soldier who arrived in North Africa in November 1942 believing he'd be home within a few months but who ended up slogging through Italy, France and Germany to the finality of war's end on V-E Day in May of 1945. Haight's brief passages relate what daily life was like living in primitive conditions where a shower was a rare enough event to be worthy of mention; where long bouts of oppressive heat were followed by periods of relentless rain; where the heart-stopping intensity of battle was followed by long stretches of monotony. The old adage 'one picture is worth a thousand words' proves true once again in One Soldier's War . To assist the reader both in understanding the geography and history of the areas mentioned, as well as the specific events described in PFC Haight's short journal entries, pictures have been added. Some of these pictures are from PFC Haight's collection, others are the result of research. His story is every soldier's story. One Soldier's War , published during the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII, is an educational journey. It is also the author's tribute to her father-in-law and all in the military who sacrifice so much for the freedom we too often take for granted.
