Memoir by
Hayes, James
Synopsis
"One of the most enjoyable WW2 books to date." -War History Online "One Hell of a War" is a fascinating blend of firsthand accounts and the strategic decisions that led to them based on the history of the 317th Infantry Regiment from its initial activation in World War II through the end of the war. This book has all the elements everyone loved in "Band of Brothers" with the added integration of the strategic leadership decisions of Patton, Bradley and Eisenhower. Most interestingly, it contains well written and thought-provoking excerpts of the late Colonel James Hayes, who served with the regiment during its entire wartime service. The history books do not say a great deal about the 317th Infantry Regiment of the 80th Infantry Division in WWII. However, it was a regiment that accomplished rather startling results: first bridgehead across the Moselle, cleared out La Grande Couronne de Nancy, participated in the capture of Metz -- the first time in history that the fort had ever fallen to an assault, and, of course, participated in the Battle of the Bulge as one of the first regiments to arrive in the area after the German assault had broken the line. It suffered extremely severe casualties and contained some of the best men ever known. What others are saying about One Hell of a War... "One Hell of a War" is one of those books you simply can't put down. It should come with a carrying handle and a sign warning "Do Not Disturb"...one of the most enjoyable WW2 books to date. -Phil Hodges for War History Online I love to read WWII history, and One Hell of a War takes the reader into the foxhole and onto the battlefield like no other book I have read ... this is a must read book. -Jim Ravella, President, Folds of Honor Foundation It would be wonderful if every unit who fought during the war had a book like this portraying what was accomplished and how terrible war is for the men who actually fight it. -Gayalyn Wojtowicz, daughter of S/Sgt. Guyowen H. Howard, Sr. 317/B OUTSTANDING "One Hell of a War" is a magnificent and masterfully told story that effortlessly weaves together the historical operations of one of Patton's infantry regiments and first-hand accounts like no other book that I have read. A book this excellent is a rarity and should be on every professional reading list. -Colonel Frank Athanason, USA (Ret), Past National Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart Dean Dominique's careful research and editing of Colonel James Hayes' combat memoirs rings true in a book that is both a scholarly work and an exciting read. Trust me, when you reach the section about the fighting and cold weather during the Battle of the Bulge, you'll want to put on a coat; it's that good. -Alexander Barnes; Author of "In a Strange land; The American Occupation of Germany 1918-1923." A remarkable story about an infantry regiment during WWII that played a key role in operations in Europe. Dean does a masterful job of weaving the personal accounts into the historical context of the major operations. With so few WWII veterans left, books like these are valuable resources. -Rich Killblane, Author of "The Filthy Thirteen; From the Dustbowl to Hitler's Eagle's Nest: The 101st Airborne's Most Legendary Squad of Combat Paratroopers." Dean Dominique's new book, "One Hell of a War," knocks it out of the ballpark and is one of the best books I've read...You won't be able to put it down. -Andrew Z. Adkins, III author of "You Can't Get Much Closer Than This: Combat with Company H, 317th Infantry Regiment, 80th Division."

- e***i (162)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaGreat book for a great price. Shipped quickly, but only packed in a poly bag, so the book suffered some mild corner damage in shipping. Aside from that, the book matched the description of its condition and I’m happy overall. Great seller!
- i***0 (639)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaItem arrived in perfect condition, book was exactly as described however the cards were not with it so I needed to return the book. Seller understood and refuned without an issue. Return went successful and great communication about the situation with seller. I would recommend this seller as they give great feedback response and understood situation as well as beng well mannered and very understanding. The book was exactly as described, I just needed the cards too, so no use for book. Refunded
- t***t (305)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaAAAA++++ SELLER!!!! Book was shipped very quickly and item price was also good. My only complaint is the shipping packaging. This book came loosely placed in a plastic bag so I can't tell if the damage to the dust jacket happened in shipping or it was already in that condition. But, as I already stated, the overall price was good so I shouldn't really complain. Overall, I've had positive experience with hpb-ruby so I'd still definitely recommend buying from them.
