LONG WALK THROUGH WAR: A Combat Doctor’s Diary by Klaus H. Huebner. LIKE NEW First Edition stated hardcover, 1987. #4 of the Texas A&M University Military History Series. The gripping story of the 88th Infantry Division, the first selective service unit committed to battle in the European Theater, as seen from the unique vantage point of a battalion physician. Using notes hastily scribbled on the backs of maps and finished out whenever he was moved to rear areas for rest, Dr. Klaus Huebner captures the frustration, fear, boredom, devotion, and anger that were the daily portion of combat infantrymen. The division’s 344 days of combat were part of the bitterly contested struggle for supremacy in Italy during World War II. This narrative traces the division’s activities from final staging preparations at Fort Sam Houston to North Africa and on up the Italian peninsula to the Brenner Pass in Austria. Just north of Naples, Italy, when combat began, a medical aid station was set up in any available farmhouse, barn, cave, or clump of trees that offered some protection for treating the wounded. There the battalion surgeon and his aides did what they could under adverse circumstances to treat and give moral support to the casualties. They came to know well the miseries, emotions, and human drama of infantry soldiers in combat. A memorable view of battle, the men who suffered its consequences, and the men who tried to save them.
