ReviewsLeicester 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.

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.

The first was, 'This is the best-researched, most engagingly written, and beautifully edited book I have read about the 82nd.' The author has skillfully woven after-action reports and unit histories with various veteran interviews to tell the entire story of the 82nd Airborne in WWII. Thankfully, a complete bibliography and detailed index have been included, thereby insuring that this book will become a standard history of the 82nd. At $35, it is a bargain for all the well-organized information it contains. The engaging writing is simply an added bonus. Nordyke has told the story in such a way that honors vets of the 82nd and will keep WWII aficionados glued to each of the 700+ pages of narrative.", LeicesterMercury(UK),Dec. 17, 2005(circ. unavailable) "This definitive work tells in a breathtaking 776 pages the complete history of the US 82nd paratroop division during the war years.

Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThe 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.
