"The Hero Syndrome," like the title story, is retrospectively concerned with a single memorable event. The other eight combat stories are concerned with less remarkable, single events ("Gathering Intelligence" and "Off Limits") or with thematic matters ("Under Fire" and "Winding Down"). The style is clear; the tone is ironic; the hallmark is authenticity. On the Road reveals what happens to a young man who has been in combat and who has been seriously wounded. The historian Paul Fussell has praised the memoir for "its clear critical intelligence as well as its sensitivity and wisdom."
William B. Bache was born in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania in 1922 and, before the war, attended Cornell and Penn State. After getting a Ph. D. from Penn State and teaching there for a year, he was a professor of English at Purdue for forty years and the last surviving founder of Modern Fiction Studied. Since 1951 he has published more than 150 articles, essays, notes, reviews, poems, and short stories, as well as three books on meaning in Shakespeare, notably, Shakespeare’s Deliberate Art. He has received many teaching awards.
Enlisting in the army in October 1942, Bache, along with 190,000 other student soldiers, was sent in March 1944 from the Air Force to the infantry, and then to the front lines in Europe. He was a member of a regimented Intelligence and Reconnaissance platoon of the 103rd Division until he was seriously wounded and spent ten months in various army hospitals.
