  • ""The 82d Airborne fought throughout the ETO, from the invasions of North Africa, Sicily and Normandy, to the Netherlands, the Bulge and the drive on Berlin. And throughout the campaigns sat Lebenson at the division's nerve center, typing orders, drafting battle maps and acting as a liaison. A rare enlisted man with 'bigoted' (top secret) status, he was privy to the 82d's actions as they were being devised. In the process, he was able to gain firsthand looks at Ridgway, Gavin, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Montgomery and other luminaries who came through headquarters ... The author has provided a rare behind-the-scenes view of the 82d Airborne's headquarters operations in World War II, yet he is the first to acknowledge that his greatest honor was to be 'surrounded by heroes'"--Jacket."
