Great History of The Big Red One

My father was a soldier in WWII, serving in The Big Red One--First Infantry Division. He never talked about the war so I try to find books that tell me about what his unit/platoon actually experienced. This book does that. It's almost a day-to-day history (well, not quite). It is well written and interesting. It's a good mix of personal experience and overall history. I like it a lot.
