Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThe 82nd Airborne Division - known as the "All-Americas" - parachuted into history as America's first airborne division to see combat. Always at the forefront of the heaviest fighting in WWII, the 82nd helped spearhead the Allied drive to victory in Europe. This book tells the full story of these gallant all-Americans from their first perilous drop into battle to their acclaimed victory parade up New York's 5th Avenue in 1946. Currently, the 82nd remains the only active U.S. parachute division still in deployment., Brings to life the division's exploits on June 6, 1944, where, after spearheading the airborne invasion, the paratroopers proved invaluable as shock troops and were pulled out of combat only to mount the airborne invasion of Holland - the campaign immortalized in A Bridge Too Far.

82nd Airborne combat history
I appreciate the comprehensive content by this author. As a former 82nd division paratrooper myself, I feel pride in those that went before me and the integrity of this unit, especially being proven under fire as they were.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

All american book
The book was missing the sleeve cover. The picture of the book show a cover. On the description only stay some wear and possible marks. This is misleading for purchasers. I should being charged for what you show on the picture. The inside of the book was ok. Please be honest and let people decide for the shortest before purchased.
