Excepting basic historical events, places, and personages, this series of books is fictional, and anything that appears otherwise is coincidental and unintentional.
The principal characters are imaginary, although they might remind veterans of specific men whom they knew. The Twenty-third Infantry Regiment, in which the characters serve, is used fictitiously
The series doesn’t represent the real historical Twenty-third Infantry, which has distinguished itself in so many battles from the Civil War to Vietnam, but it could have been any American line regiment that fought and bled during World War II.
These novels are dedicated to the men who were there. May their deeds and gallantry never be forgotten.
