Memoirs of an Infantry Officer belongs first on the biography and memoir shelf, but it becomes more useful when the reader treats category as a doorway rather than a verdict. The book also reaches toward history and ideas, which is why a single shelf label would be too narrow for Memoirs of an Infantry Officer.
