Here is my teaser for the week:
"W.O had not only recovered from his dystentery, he had also become adept at theft. The rest of the #4 gun squad paid no attention when he slipped off, leaving them to dig emplacements, because he returned with goodies: four pounds of bacon on one trip, and a few days later, almost two gallons of dough." ~p.107-108, The Pacific by Hugh Ambrose

Interesting teaser. I generally try to stay away from books about war or the military, but I read quite a few when I was younger. Guess I'm getting too old for all that excitement! Enjoy.
My teaser.
Two gallons of dough? What did he do, rob a bakery?
I guess they must be in a pretty bad situation if those offerings substitute for hours of hard work. This makes me curious - nice teaser!
If you'd like, you can check out mine here.
Interesting. I usually don't read books on war, but I should think about expanding my reading pile.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I'm in a WW II frame of mind lately but am stuck in Europe. Will need to check out your selection. Enjoy stories of non-soldier caught up in conflict.
My TT is for "The Invisible Bridge", a first novel by Julie Orringer, set in Budapest and Paris in the late 1930s leading up to WW II. My link: Summit Musings
