OVER THERE
When Raymond Gantter arrived in Normandy in the fall of 1944, bodies were still washing up from the invasion.

With depth, clarity, and remarkable compassion, Gantter—an enlisted man and college graduate who spoke German—portrays the extraordinary life of the American soldier as he and his comrades lived it while helping to destroy Hitler's Third Reich. From dueling with unseen snipers in ruined villages to fierce battles in which the lightly armed American infantry skirmished against Hitler's panzers, Gantter skillfully captures one infantryman's progress across a continent where guns, fear, and death lay in wait around every bend in the road.
