That’s The Way The Ball Bounces by Milton Cook With war in the Middle East constantly in the news, people are exposed to the harsh reality that conflict can have on both combatants and civilians. But there is another side to war, and that is everyday living in the barracks, in between active engagements, can be quite as tedious and mundane as life back home and soldiers have to find ways to keep themselves occupied. In double veteran Milton Cook’s That’s The Way The Ball Bounces: A Nonplused Soldier’s Mundane Exploits During WWII, get a glimpse of the military life. In this engaging memoir, the reader learns about a teenage soldier’s somewhat unusual service as a Military Policeman in the Army Air Force during WWII. After basic training in Miami Beach, the MP Company was stationed for over two years at the headquarters of a Replacement Depot in the English Midlands. The company was billeted in a dormitory-like barrack with two men per room. After the war, what remained of the company spent two months in Germany. This is both a personal and a social history of then Army life and Military Police duties.
