Book Description
Excerpt from History of the 101st Regiment, Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Infantry 1861-1865 The labor and money I have spent in preparing this volume are a free will offering on my part. I have no expectation, hope, or desire for any pecuniary return or reward for what I have done to preserve to posterity the record of my Regiment. Fully aware of its imperfections, and the lack of proper recognition of many worthy comrades who played their full part in making an honorable record for the Regiment, I shall be satisfied if I receive proper appreciation from my surviving comrades, and the relatives and friends of those who have obeyed taps for the last time and are awaiting the sounding of great reveille, proclaiming the time when there shall be no more wars, and when the spirit of the humble Galilean shall prevail to the uttermost parts of the earth. Proud of the part I played in helping Abraham Lincoln maintain this Government, during the stirring and trying days of 1861-65, I feel happy in the consciousness that I have, in a measure, done something towards preserving the record of those with whom I was associated, and who enabled me to play my part, during the four most strenuous years of my life. Not preserving it merely to gratify the few living comrades and the children and friends of those who have passed beyond, but rather that future generations will honor their memory, and in doing so, be incited to faithfully maintain the principles on which this Republic was founded, and perpetuated through the privations and sacrifices of the comrades of the Civil War. As the final sheets of this volume were going to press the announcements were received that two gallant comrades, Lieut. Col. A. W. Taylor and Capt. C. W. May, have passed into the Great Beyond.

Bastogne
Author: S. L. A. Marshall
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781516946709
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The Center of Military History is pleased to present the second volume in the U.S. Army in Action series, a facsimile reprint of Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall's Bastogne: The First Eight Days. Originally published in 1946, this brief study provides a combat history of a critical battle during the Allied liberation of Europe in World War II. Outnumbered and surrounded for five days, a U.S. Army combined arms force of airborne infantry, armor, engineers, tank destroyers, and artillery conducted a successful defense of the Belgian crossroads town of Bastogne in late December 1944. They separated the German combined arms formations and destroyed the pieces, halting the offensive. The outcome of this battle was critical to the successful Allied defense against the German Ardennes offensive. Bastogne offers unique insights, capturing the immediate impressions of the soldiers who fought in this harsh winter engagement. The author penetrates the "fog of war" with a coherent narrative that clearly captures the strategy, tactics, and leadership of the battle. This action strangled the German logistical flow to their forward assault divisions, disrupting their offensive tempo and slowing their advance. What emerges is a vivid case study of how decisive leadership and incidents of individual heroism can contribute to overcoming enemy forces and weather.

The Paratrooper Generals
Author: Mitchell Yockelson
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0811768511
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
A military history detailing the key role two US Army special forces commanders and their infantry divisions played in during the second world war. Generals during World War II usually stayed to the rear, but not Matthew Ridgway and Maxwell Taylor. During D-Day and the Normandy campaign, these commanders of the 82nd “All-American” and the 101st “Screaming Eagle” Airborne Divisions refused to remain behind the lines and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with their paratroopers in the thick of combat. Jumping into Normandy during the early hours of D-Day, Ridgway and Taylor fought on the ground for six weeks of combat that cost the airborne divisions more than forty percent casualties. The Paratrooper Generals is the first book to explore in depth the significant role these two division commanders played on D-Day, describing the extraordinary courage and leadership they demonstrated throughout the most important American campaign of World War II.
