"Seventy years ago, thousands of Allied fighting men landed on the Normandy beaches. Among these soldiers were a multitude of Americans who had come to fight, and liberate Europe. Some had no combat experience, others were veterans of the North African or Italian campaigns. This book follows the war service of fifty of these soldiers who served in the ground, air and naval forces. During the course of the war they filled a multitude of roles, from Ranger to bomber pilot, seaman on board a destroyer, or chaplain in a motorized cavalry unit. Nurses and a WAC telephone operator illustrate the part played by female personnel. Each story begins with a short look at the family background, allowing the reader to discover the origins of each soldier and his, or her education and first jobs. The study of official archives and documents kept by the soldiers help us to trace their military careers which began with registration with a draft board before being called up and undertaking basic training. The latter was followed by more specific training which could last a few weeks for a rifleman and several months for a fighter pilot. Most of these men and women made their way to the theater of operations by ship. At this stage of the stories, the unit diaries are of great help in piecing together what happened in the actual fighting which led to overall victory. The story continues with the return home for the more fortunate ones. Indeed, the huge cemeteries dotted around Europe are an eternal reminder of the sacrifice of American service personnel. On a lighter note, part of the final chapter deals with the subject of war brides. Personal photos, letters, medals and simple souvenirs that belonged to each of the men and women in this book are used to illustrate their story"--Foreword.

AMERICAN BOYS AT WAR IN VIETNAM--AND INVOLVED IN INCIDENTS YOU WON'T FIND IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES In this compelling, highly unusual collection of amazing but true stories, U.S. soldiers reveal fantastic, almost unbelievable events that occurred in places ranging from the deadly Central Highlands to the Cong-infested Mekong Delta. "Finders Keepers" became the sacred byword for one exhausted recon team who stumbled upon a fortune worth more than $500,000--and managed, with a little American ingenuity, to relocate the bounty to the States. Jorgenson also chronicles Marine Sergeant James Henderson's incredible journey back from the dead, shares a surreal chopper rescue, and recounts some heart-stopping details of the life--and death--of one of America's greatest unsung heroes, a soldier who won more medals than Audie Murphy and Sergeant York. Whether occurring in the bloody, fiery chaos of sudden ambushes or during the endless nights of silent, gnawing menace spent behind enemy lines, these stories of war are truly beaucoup dinky dau . . . and ultimately unforgettable.

“A must-read book that explores a vital pre-war effort [with] deep research and gripping writing.” —Washington Times In The rise of the G.I. Army, 1940–1941, Paul Dickson tells the dramatic story of how the American Army was mobilized from scattered outposts two years before Pearl Harbor into the disciplined and mobile fighting force that helped win World War II. In September 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland and initiated World War II, America had strong isolationist leanings. The US Army stood at fewer than 200,000 men—unprepared to defend the country, much less carry the fight to Europe and the Far East. And yet, less than a year after Pearl Harbor, the American army led the Allied invasion of North Africa, beginning the campaign that would defeat Germany, and the Navy and Marines were fully engaged with Japan in the Pacific. Dickson chronicles this transformation from Franklin Roosevelt’s selection of George C. Marshall to be Army Chief of Staff to the remarkable peace-time draft of 1940 and the massive and unprecedented mock battles in Tennessee, Louisiana, and the Carolinas by which the skill and spirit of the Army were forged and out of which iconic leaders like Eisenhower, Bradley, and Clark emerged. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of political and cultural isolationist resistance and racial tension at home, and the increasingly perceived threat of attack from both Germany and Japan.

aorn and raised in Adair County, Kentucky, Henry Giles entered the U.S. Army in 1940. As weapons sergeant with the 291st Combat Engineer Battalion, Sgt. Giles participated in the Normandy invasion, the Battle of the Bulge, and the crossing of the Rhine River at Remagen. Throughout his time in the European Theater he wrote over six hundred letters home to his soon-to-be wife, Janice Holt. He also religiously kept a journal detailing daily activities and the camaraderie of his unit. Twenty years later, Janice Holt Giles edited this journal, compiled interviews and additional research, and produced The G. I. Journal of Sergeant Giles, a book that shows WWII as it was experienced by the regular men who took the brunt of it, the noncommisioned officers and privates.
