Until victory comes : combat with a machine gunner in Patton's Third Army
On December 16, 1944, Gene Garrison spent a terrifying 19th birthday crammed into a muddy foxhole near the German border in the Saar. He listened helplessly while wounded comrades screamed in pain when deadly shrapnel from artillery shells rained down on them. The teenager was part of a .30-caliber machine gun crew with the 87th Infantry Division. It was his first day in combat. Unless Victory Comes relates the cold reality of war as seen through the eyes of the common soldier who saw it all, from that first frightening night in combat until the war ended five months later. - Jacket flap.

- "On December 19, 1944, Gene Garrison turned nineteen. He spent his birthday in a muddy foxhole, listening to the cries of wounded comrades while exploding artillery shells sent shrapnel raining down on him and the enemy prepared to attack. It was his first day in combat. Unless Victory Comes recounts Garrison's journey as he was transformed from a fresh-faced kid from the farmlands of Ohio into a hardened soldier fighting for survival. From his baptism under fire, to the bitter fighting in the Battle of the Bulge, to the end of the war on the Czechoslovakian border, Gene Garrison witnessed the war from the ground up. This is the story of one young man, far from home, surrounded by strangers, facing death yet never losing hope that he would live to see his family again."
