Description

Few history buffs are aware of the existence of enlisted entertainers (MOS 442) or TEAM SNAFU. Bob O'Connor's novel Jeep Show follows the life of Jim Tanzer as he follows front line combat infantry to the border of Germany and puts on a last-minute Christmas show for the service members and civilians trapped in Bastogne on Christmas Day 1944. Jeep Show reflects extensive research on wartime culture, soldier sland, and daily life in the army for enlisted men, as well as the Battle of the Bulge and the defense of Bastogne which occurred 80 years ago as the Germans mounted their last ghreat offensive puch against the Allies.
