Summary of William Guarnere, Edward Heffron & Robyn Post's Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up in South Philadelphia, and as a young boy, I was tasked with helping feed my family. I would go around the neighborhood and sell coffee for a nickel to people at the garages. I would make a quarter, and give it to my mother. #2 I grew up in a family of gamblers, drinkers, and card players. I was a good kid, but a devilish one. I was exposed to alcohol at a young age. #3 I went to junior high and worked for Pop at the same time. I was a devil, and I would undercut the other tailors to get the work. I learned military skills at the camp, and in 1941, I quit high school and went to work in a defense factory. #4 I was exempt from the draft because of my job, so I decided to enlist in the Marines. The paratroopers were all volunteer, and the elite of the Army. I knew I could pass the training because I was in great physical shape.
