In mid-1943 James Megellas, known as “Maggie” to his fellowparatroopers, joined the 82d Airborne Division, his new “home” forthe duration. His first taste of combat was in the rugged mountainsoutside Naples. In October 1943, when most of the 82d departed Italy to prepare forthe D-Day invasion of France, Lt. Gen. Mark Clark, the Fifth Armycommander, requested that the division’s 504th Parachute InfantryRegiment, Maggie’s outfit, stay behind for a daring new operationthat would outflank the Nazis’ stubborn defensive lines and openthe road to Rome. On 22 January 1944, Megellas and the rest of the504th landed across the beach at Anzio. Following initial success,Fifth Army’s amphibious assault, Operation Shingle, bogged down inthe face of heavy German counterattacks that threatened to drivethe Allies into the Tyrrhenian Sea.

In the spring of 1944, 120,000 Allied soldiers crossed theEnglish Channel in the most ambitious invasion force everassembled. Rangers, paratroopers, infantry, and armored personnel,these soldiers--some who had just cut their teeth in Africa andSicily and some who were brand-new to war--joined a force aimed atthe heart of Europe and Hitler’s defenses. On the morning of June6, D-Day began. And in the hours that followed, thousands losttheir lives, while those who survived would be changedforever No other chronicle of D-Day can match Gerald Astor'sextraordinary work--a vivid first-person account told with stunningimmediacy by the men who were there. From soldiers who wadedthrough the bullet-riddled water to those who dropped behind enemylines, from moments of terror and confusion to acts of incrediblecamaraderie and heroism, June 6, 1944 plunges us intohistory in the making--and the most pivotal battle ever waged.
The fighting that waged across the Philippines during WorldWar II ranks among the most vicious in the annals of war. Nearly80,000 Americans and Filipinos were taken prisoner on Bataan, thename of which is forever linked with the notorious "death march."During the three years that Japan occupied the archipelago, 130,000American and Filipinos were killed. Prisoners in Japanese prisoncamps were 10 times as likely to die in captivity as soldiers heldby the Germans. When they returned to retake the islands, Americantroops preferred not to take any prisoners at all. Gerald Astorgives voice to the soldiers who participated in this gruesomeperiod of world military history. --This text refers to an outof print or unavailable edition of this title.
