I just finished reading Sergeant Nibley, Ph.D.:Memories of an Unlikely Screaming Eagle. I thought it was a great book. Hugh Nibley was a very interesting person. In this book, his son Alex took many of Hugh's recollections, letters and diary writings and inserts them between historical accounts from others of World War II in Europe. Sergeant Nibley, a college professor enlisted at the beginning of the war and ended up right in the midst of our country's intelligence efforts and he found himself involved in the Normandy invasion and other historic actions.

I thought his perspective as an outsider, in the middle of the action was a unique one. He discusses the insanity of the military, as well as the genuine humanity that can happen in the middle of a war. I'd recommend this book for anyone interested in a different look at World War II.
