		If Hitler had seen Den Brotheridge and Bob Mathias in action at the beginning of D-Day, he might have had second thoughts.
		It is Brotheridge and Mathias and their buddies, the young men born into the false prosperity of the 1920s and brought up in the bitter realities of the Depression of the 1930s, that this book is about.
		The literature they read as youngsters was antiwar, cynical, portraying patriots as suckers, slackers as heroes.
