Soldier On

Soldier On

As World War II enters its final stretch, Sergeant Peter Dietrick of the once-mighty 3rd Platoon knows the war is lost. Same as the rest of his soldiers.

But none of them know how many days (or weeks) remain before the country finally -- FINALLY -- capitulates.

The weak and unlucky are gone. Now, only the strong remain, a ragged band of men determined to maintain their prestige and respect. They are the sons of hardened veterans from World War I, and they are men filled with too much pride to quit or surrender.

But food is running short. Ammo, too. And each day, with its increasingly absurd set of orders, begins to test the men in ways they could have never imagined.

They are out-gunned. Outnumbered. And without air support.

These final days are tough for the men, and tougher for the leaders.

Hemmed in by Nazi SS units on one side, who are waiting to arrest or shoot retreating troops, and hordes of well-supplied American troops advancing mercilessly on the other, the men pray they must only endure the freezing weather of the last days. And that their supplies wonâ€™t run out. And that they wonâ€™t lose their lives or the honor and dignity theyâ€™ve spent years creating.

â€œSoldier Onâ€ is a short novel, approximately 89 pages long, which explores the physical torment and mental anguish endured by men on the front lines, as well as the frailty of honor and dignity. The book exposes and defines what it truly means to be a soldier.
