Review:
"Fascinating...a side of Cardy that fans of the Silver Age never got to see." --Uproxx feature
"This book is genuinely one of the best things we ve ever reviewed on the site and would make a great gift for anyone interested in World War II." --Military.com
"This book is absolutely perfect for history buffs. It is also absolutely perfect for folks interested in the human condition. And, war is all about the human condition, a condition that Nick Cardy captured just about every angle of with his pen and sketchbook." --Unleash the Fanboy
"Cardy speaks candidly of his experiences and his recollections of his time in the army and brings a little something extra to each beautifully rendered sketch. The visuals are breathtaking and the stories are often funny and always memorable." --Geek Hard review
"Do yourself a favor and pick this up right away!" --Comic Attack
"As the Greatest Generation fades away, we'll have fewer opportunities to hear about these events through first-hand testimony. It's important that the ones we do get are as good as this one." --Major History Review
"From sketches of attacks to poignant illustrations of foreign landscapes, his preserved artworks give a rare glimpse into the life of a WWII veteran." --Huffington Post
