As a young man coming of age, James Ray Clark was an eyewitness observer of the events leading up to WW II. By the age of 18, he was an infantryman in Patton's Third Army. Much has been written about the generals and leaders as the war ground to an end in 1944 and 1945. we the fight from the point of view of the foot soldier fighting a tough and intransigent German army as it defended its homeland. as battle hardened as he had become, he was yet to receive the "shock of our lives." as he helped liberate the infamous Buchenwald Concentration Camp. He had become a first hand witness to the horrors of the Holocaust. When the war ended, the danger did not. Thanks to such writing, we can know some of the thoughts and feelings of the young men on the ground in the European theater of the war. Ray was was part of the occupying forces. He survived the war, returned home and raised three children. Spurred by the attempts of revisionists and Holocaust deniers, he eventually became a lecturer on the subject. He continued to lecture until he passed in 2007.
