Descripción
Sumario:As chaplain for the US Army's 102nd Evacuation Hospital in the European Theater, Renwick C. Kennedy--""Ren"" to those who knew him--witnessed great courage, extreme talent, and many lives snatched from the precipice of death, all under the most trying conditions. He also observed drug and alcohol abuse, prejudice, narrow-mindedness, and chronic depression. What he saw, he chronicled in his journal, and what he wrote, he processed with an intellectual and ethical rigor born of his remarkably sophisticated worldview and his deeply held Christian faith
Notas:The author based the book on Rev. Kennedy's letters, war diaries, and post-war magazine articles, as well as a personal yearlong trip retracing Kennedy's war locales, including conducting interviews with local citizens about their war remembrances.
