Let's Go

By Louis Felix Ranlett

"Let's Go" is a compelling firsthand account of the American experience during the Great War, written by Louis Felix Ranlett, who served as an officer in the infantry. The narrative captures the raw reality of life in the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) as they navigated the transition from training camps to the brutal battlefields of France. Ranlett provides a vivid and personal perspective on the logistical challenges, the camaraderie among soldiers, and the harrowing nature of trench warfare during the final stages of the conflict.

Through detailed observations and a straightforward prose style, the work explores the psychological and physical demands placed upon young men thrust into global warfare. It follows the author's journey through significant engagements, offering insights into the leadership required on the front lines and the evolving tactics of 20th-century combat. This memoir stands as a significant historical document, preserving the voice of an American soldier and documenting the courage and resilience of those who served in the "war to end all wars." It is an essential read for those interested in military history, personal war narratives, and the enduring legacy of the United States' involvement in World War I.
