About this product

Product Information

All American brings to harrowing 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. We witness the airborne forces' daring daylight jump deep behind Nazi lines, only to see their initial success erased by the failures of the armored division that followed. And we see the 82nd, barely a month later, thrust back into action when the Battle of the Bulge came roaring out of the Ardennes. From the shore of Sicily to the beaches of Normandy, from the Rhine to the Elbe to the German surrender and the U.S. occupation of Berlin, this is military history at its best, often told in the words of the soldiers themselves. It is a fitting - and long overdue - tribute to the valorous service of one of America's most celebrated fighting divisions.
