Would recommend to anyone interested in Jean Shepherd. Very enjoyable read ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Another side of Jean Shepherd *by G***O on Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2021* For those who have read and enjoyed Shep's other writing, this one is a bit different.I'd just expected a compilation of the Army tales from his Playboy Magazine days, written with his broad senseof humor and sarcastic wit, but I was surprised to discover a darker Jean Shepherd here... still with a keen eye forthe absurd and ironic in life, but there's much more here.We get a sense of what it was like to get drafted into the WW2 Green Machine... Shep tells the tale of just howdehumanizing it is to become a small, insignificant cog among the millions in the Army. He shares his personalstory of how he survived it all, both figuratively and literally, by his own wits.There IS, to be sure, much of the usual Shep humor in this, as well as the boredom and frustration of everydaylife in the service, punctuated by the few minutes of excitement as he gets to do what he was sent to theFlorida Everglades to do... his RADAR company actually detects a German submarine off the Florida coast, andfrom a safe and boring distance he watches a single and now long forgotten battle between the sub, and oiltanker, and a Piper Cub of the Civil Air Patrol.It definitely a different side of Shep, and an interesting one. Worth the time to read... it's a true tale from thebelly of the beast. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Jean Shepherd is one of the best storytellers in history... *by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2013* Eugene Bergmann has put together an amazing collection of Army stories that were told by Jean Shepherd on his nightly radio show that aired for over two decades. He has done a painstaking job of transcribing and grouping these stories into a near perfect chronology spanning from induction to the transition back to civilian life.These tales give us a poignant and humorous look at the pain, drudgery and monotony of life in the military as only Shepherd can tell it. I know the diehard Jean Shepherd fans out there will buy this book. I implore anyone who is not as familiar with his work to pick it up. It is a great sampling of the works of one of the greatest American humorists of the 20th century. Once you've whet your palate with these stories you will want to seek out all of Shepherd's earlier publications as well. Thank you, so much, Mr. Bergmann for helping to keep the legacy of this brilliant storyteller alive. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4533741-sheps-army-bummers-blisters-and-boondoggles](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4533741-sheps-army-bummers-blisters-and-boondoggles) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
