Product Desc: For the first time, All American All The Way tells the definitive human story of what was arguably the most elite American fighting division of World War II, the immortal 82nd Airborne Division. Combining oral and written accounts drawn from almost 1,000 veterans, the history of the division in World War II is told from the perspectives of the troopers in the foxholes. These accounts most often have never before been recorded: they are the experiences and reflections of the junior officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted men - those who did the fighting.
All American All The Way establishes an historical record of the experience of frontline combat in the 82nd Airborne Division. Setting veterans'
accounts into the larger framework with historical accuracy, All American All The Way will become the definitive reference in its field. All American All The Way presents the veterans' stories in an engaging and active way that takes the reader into the action, to vicariously experience the cutting edge of combat and the hardships of daily life of these special men. All American, All the Way is a fitting tribute to their valorous service.
868 pages, 46 maps, 128 photographs. Many of the photographs have never been published.
