I am a huge Alex Kershaw fan, believe I have read every one of his works and some of those I consider my favorite books ever. My friend Ralph (rwrich51) gave me his copy of "The Longest Winter" several years back to read, loved it! It is a great book, definitely recommend to put it on your reading list. Lt. Lyle Bouck, the leader of the 394th's I & R platoon, is a native of the St. Louis area and is still living but in declining health. I saw this excellent article earlier this year about him in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
