The secret history of the 101st Airborn Division in the Battle of Normandy
Fabulous ! There are stories the veterans never speak about openly, that they whisper to each other during their reunions. These stories range from the hilarious to the surprising to the horrible, but they are true. They haven’t come from some film producer’s scenario or the fertile imagination of some writer or other; they have simply haunted the spirits of the men who lived through them. They have been gathered together by the author after 35 years’ research and after interviewing more than a thousand 101st Airborne Division veterans engaged in WWII operations. This book is well illustrated with period photos but also of places, objects and equipment belonging to the 101st Paras.
