5.0

A stirring, and at times, horrific account of the exploits of Company 97 of the 6th Marines in WWI. It is certainly an equal to Fear: A Novel of World War I by Gabriel Chevallier, Through the Wheat: A Novel of the World War I Marines by Thomas Boyd; Her Privates We by Frederic Manning; and Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger. Whether French, American, British, or German these soldiers of "The War to End All Wars" went through hell.

The American Legion named God Have Mercy on Us! the best novel of World War I in 1929, along with Mary Lee's hard to find It's a Great War!
