Leicester Mercury , Dec. 17, 2005 “This definitive work tells in a breathtaking 776 pages the complete history of the US 82nd paratroop division during the war years. Obviously a labor of love, the book is a fitting tribute to the brave, young American troops. The author’s in-depth research also makes fascinating and revealing reading.â€�, Leicester Mercury , Dec. 17, 2005 "This definitive work tells in a breathtaking 776 pages the complete history of the US 82nd paratroop division during the war years.

Synopsis
The 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.

- o***a (54)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI thought I was ordering a paper back, especially considering the price was only around $10. I'm not sure if they shipped a hard cover by mistake. But I am more than happy to accept it. The description wasn't clear on what it was. So this could very well have been the intended item. I was not very impressed with their customer service at all. It took them days to respond and they didn't seem to care about the delay in shipping. I might purchase again, but I would be cautious as it was delayed.
- r***1 (180)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
