When Pearl Harbor turned the world upside down, Donald W. Hemingway left Brigham Young University to enlist in the U.S. Army. In this firsthand diary, he recounts basic training at Fort Douglas, the ocean crossing, and duty across Egypt, Libya, North Africa, and Italy. With a soldier's eye for detail and a Latter-day Saint's abiding faith, Hemingway captures sandstorms, convoys, POWs, LDS servicemen's gatherings overseas, and quiet moments of divine protection amid the chaos of World War II.

  • A real WWII diary written by a faithful Latter-day Saint soldier—firsthand history, not a textbook.
  • Follow one BYU student's journey from enlistment to the deserts of North Africa and the villages of Italy.
  • Faith-promoting wartime accounts, including a B-17 gunner protected by the blessings of the Lord.
  • A vivid, dated eyewitness record of LDS servicemen gathering to worship overseas during the war.

Perfect for an LDS reader or history buff interested in a faithful serviceman's firsthand WWII diary from the North African and Italian theaters.
