  • ""THE MEN WHO SACRIFICED FOR THEIR COUNTRY ARE RIGHTFULLY HERALDED ... This is an honest book'one well worth reading. ...

It is vital that we know exactly what happened there'and who made it happen. This book provides a complete account of American Army ground combat forces'who they were, how they got to the battlefield, and what they did there.
