"Chuck's Story" by Larry D. Haugen

If you're looking for an interesting biographical account of the Hurtgen Forest battle during WWII, this book is for you. It is short, precise and to the point. It tells the story of an American GI who stayed behind on the battlefield to save a wounded soldier, only to be saved himself by a pair of German soldiers. I thoroughly enjoyed this book (62 pages) partly because I recently had the honor of meeting the individual of whom it is written, but mostly for its readable content. You can get a free download of the publication by "Googling" Chuck's Story by Larry D. Haugen. I liked the fact that the author is the nephew of the subject of the book, and took the time to honor his uncle by telling his story and preserving it for future generations. (Something, perhaps, we should all consider doing.)
