"The Big Red One: A Comprehensive History of the 1st Infantry Division in World War I" offers an in-depth exploration of the first American division to join the fight in Europe during the Great War. From its formation in May 1917 to its significant role in the Armistice and subsequent occupation of Germany, this book meticulously details the division's journey. Drawing on a rich array of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and military reports, as well as extensive secondary sources, it provides a vivid account of the training, combat experiences, and strategic contributions of the 1st Infantry Division. Readers will gain an intimate understanding of the challenges faced by the soldiers, the leadership dynamics, and the division’s tactical innovations that left an indelible mark on military history.
This comprehensive history not only chronicles the division's key battles, such as Cantigny, Soissons, and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, but also examines the broader impact of their service. The book delves into the personal experiences of the "Doughboys," the division’s interactions with Allied forces, and its adaptation to the brutal realities of trench warfare. With detailed appendices, including a division order of battle, Medal of Honor citations, and a glossary of military terms, this work serves as an essential resource for historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the legacy of the 1st Infantry Division during World War I.
