This isn't a typical book, but rather a few first hand war stories from a WWII veteran of the 4th Cavalry Regiment (known as the 4th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron at the time).
The war stories cover the author's upbringing; a war story about how the author - a cavalry scout - almost got selected to attend West Point during WWII (spoiler alert: he didn't want to go); a war story about the author's humorous experience managing German POWs; a war story about a rushed reconnaissance mission to seize a bridge; and a war story about a near disaster of an encounter with a German patrol.
