In June 1944, the Allies launched a massive amphibious invasion against the Nazi-held France. But under the cover of darkness, a new breed of fighting man leapt from airplanes through a bullet-stitched, tracer-lit sky to go behind German lines. These were the Screaming Eagles of the newly formed 101st Airbourne Division. Their job was to strike terror into the Nazi
defenders, delay reinforcements, and kill any enemy solders they met. In the next seven days, the men of the 101st fought some of the most ferocious close-quarter combat in all of World War II.
Now, Donald R. Burgett looks back at the nonstop, nightmarish fighting across body-strewn fields, over enemy-held hedgegrows, through blown out towns and devastated forests. This harrowing you-are-there chronicle captures the baptism by fire of a young Private Burgett, his comrades and a new air-mobile fighting force that would become a legend of war.
