Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Many professional historians have recorded the actions of D-Day but here is an account of the airborne actions as described by the actual men themselves in eyewitness detail. Participants range from division command personnel to regimental, battalion, company and battery commanders to chaplains, surgeons, enlisted medics, platoon sergeants, squad leaders and the rough, tough troopers who adapted quickly to fighting in mixed, unfamiliar groups after a badly scattered drop - and yet managed to gain the objectives set for them in the hedgerow country of Normandy. D-Day with the Screaming Eagles does not attempt to glamorise the D-Day landings or apply the Hollywood gloss of recent productions.

Zustand: Good. A TRULY AMAZING COMPENDIUM.-Gerald J. Higgins, major general, U.S. Army (ret.), from the Foreword In the predawn darkness of D-Day, an elite fighting force struck the first blows against Hitler's Fortress Europe. Braving a hail of enemy gunfire and mortars, bold invaders from the sky descended into the hedgerow country and swarmed the meadows of Normandy. Some would live, some would die, but all would fight with the guts and determination that made them the most famous U.S. Army division in World War II: the 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles. George Koskimaki was part of the 101st Airborne's daring parachute landing into occupied France that day. Now, drawing on more than five hundred firsthand accounts-including the never-before-published experiences of the trailblazing pathfinders and glider men-Koskimaki re-creates those critical hours in all their ferocity and terror.
