Customer Reviews

Great book.

Why don't they have books like THIS in classrooms? Instead they make kids read horrible pieces of crud like Jane Eyre and The Cay. How is a teenaged boy supposed to connect with that? Enter books like this.

America's Forgotten Army

I recently learned the author was my uncle's commanding officer during WWII and this book follows my uncle's war experiences. I would be interested in books recommended detailing the Pacific theater since my late father served in the Medics and was on Saipan. Sorry I don't know his division. Also my late husband served in with the 101st in Viet Nam during 1968-69 for 11 months and am interested in any books on the 101st Airborne Divison. Thank you.

Good history of little known WW2 campaigns with 2 flaws

Charles Whiting has written an excellent,readable history of a very important segment of WWII in Europe that the press,the public and even many historians neglected. The book has only 2 flaws but they are major:In dividing the book into campaigns both in the Table of Contents and the Chapter headings , the Invasion of Southern France and the Vosges Mountain Attack are shown with dates in 1943! Obviously they took place in 1944 after the June 6 D-Day Invasion in Normandy.The author deserves better than this. Either his editor or proof reader should be fired. I hope the 2nd edition corrects this.
