Book Description
With the centennial of the First World War rapidly approaching, historian and bibliographer James T. Controvich offers in The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference bibliography yet published. Organized by subject, this bibliography includes the full range of sources: vintage publications of the time, books, pamphlets, periodical titles, theses, dissertations, and archival sources held by federal and state organizations, as well as those in public and private hands, including historical societies and museums. As Controvich’s bibliographic accounting makes clear, there were many facets of World War I that remain virtually unknown to this day. Throughout, Controvich’s bibliography tracks the primary sources that tell each of these stories—and many others besides—during this tense period in American history. Each entry lists the author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and page count as well as descriptive information concerning illustrations, plates, ports, maps, diagrams, and plans. The armed forces section carries additional information on rosters, awards, citations, and killed and wounded in action lists. The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide is an ideal research tool for students and scholars of World War I and American history.

Book Description
The history of the 78th Infantry Division in World War II, as in World War I, is a record of heroic achievement, mission accomplished and outstanding service to the United States of America. War, as such, is opposed to American principles and ideals—nevertheless, in time of emergency our citizens turn from peaceful pursuits to undertake protection of their country with steadfast determination. This was the situation when, in Aug. 1942, I took command of the Lightning Division at reactivation. Our first mission was to train thousands of men for combat. Wherever America was fighting her enemies, our men saw action. Then, in the spring of 1943, the Division began training as a unit. Teamwork, leadership and courage were the foundations on which we built with work, exercise and maneuver. After grave losses through transfer of personnel, the Division completed its tests and embarked for Europe in Oct. 1944. Within two months we had assaulted and breached the formidable Siegfried Line in Germany. Rollesbroich, Simmerath, Kesternich, Konzen, Schmidt, the Schwammenauel Dam, the Cologne Plain, the Ludendorff Bridge, the Remagen Bridgehead and the Ruhr Pocket are names that will ever recall the gallantry of Lightning men. Compilation of the history of a combat unit is a daring task. Too great a part of a unit’s history lies buried with the men who made it. The deeds of one man on an unnamed hill, the actions of a squad fighting for an isolated farmstead, have decided many battles. By the nature of war, however, these actions remain unrecorded. For this reason our history is the Story of the Lightning Team, of all who wore the Lightning Patch, in a winning fight from reactivation at Camp Butner, N. C., in 1942, through our last combat mission at Wuppertal, Germany, 17 Apr. 1945, and thereafter.— Maj.-Gen. Edwin P. Parker, Jr.
