<b>A tale of heroism and adventure-a memoir about Sergeant Darrell &quot;Shifty&quot; Powers, a highly respected Band of Brothers soldier. </b> <br><br> When he was a boy growing up in the remote mining town of Clinchco, Virginia, Shifty Powers's goal was to become the best rifle shot he could be. His father trained him to listen to the woods, to &quot;see&quot; without his eyes. Little did Shifty know his finely-tuned skills would one day save his life-and the lives of many of his friends. <br><br> <i>Shifty's War</i> is a tale of a soldier's blood-filled days fighting his way from the shores of France to the heartland of Germany, and the epic story of how one man's abilities as a sharpshooter, along with an engagingly unassuming personality, propelled him to a life greater than he could have ever imagined.

Well written and engaging book. Definitely worth reading.

Engaging book to read about Shifty. I have so much respect for him. A truly humble man. The book was written as though Shifty was speaking with me. It didn't disappoint. Emotional stories. I teared up at certain sections of the book. The greatest generation. Read more
