Based on John Kinne's
unpublished diary of his service with the 1st North Dakota
Volunteer Infantry, Avenge the Maine follows his
progress through the contradictions of soldiering - from eager
enlistment, to resentful service - from pride in battlefield
success, to compassion for enemy wounded - from the thrill of
joining Young's Scouts, to the sorrow of seeing close-up death. Background information provided by the editor throughout the work puts Kinne's experiences and observations in "the big picture" of war in the Philippines 1898-99. |
