Download or read book One Hell of a War written by Dean Dominique and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-08 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history books do not say a great deal about the 317th Infantry. 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 I ever known.

Book Synopsis You Can't Get Much Closer Than This by : A.Z. Adkins
Download or read book You Can't Get Much Closer Than This written by A.Z. Adkins and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young soldier’s memoirs of fighting in WWII: “Fascinating . . . A personal record like this is a valuable resource to anyone interested in the period”(Military Model Scene). After the Citadel and Officer Candidate School, Andrew Z. Adkins Jr., was sent to the 80th Infantry Division, then training in the California-Arizona desert. There, he was assigned as an 81mm mortar section leader in Company H, 2nd Battalion, 317th Infantry Regiment. When the division completed training in December 1943, it was shipped in stages to the United Kingdom and then Normandy, where it landed on August 3, 1944. Lieutenant Adkins and his fellow soldiers took part in light hedgerow fighting that served to shake the division down and familiarize the troops and their officers with combat. The first real test came within weeks, when the 2nd Battalion, 317th Infantry, attacked high ground near Argentan during the drive to seal German forces in the Falaise Pocket. While scouting for mortar positions in the woods, Adkins met a group of Germans and shot one of them dead with his carbine. This baptism in blood settled the question faced by every novice combatant: He was cool under fire, capable of killing when facing the enemy. He later wrote, “It was a sickening sight, but having been caught up in the heat of battle, I didn’t have a reaction other than feeling I had saved my own life.” Thereafter, the 2nd Battalion, 317th Infantry, took part in bloody battles across France, sometimes coping with inept leadership and grievous losses, even as it took hills and towns away from the Germans. In the fighting graphically portrayed here, Adkins acted with skill and courage, placing himself at the forefront of the action whenever he could. His extremely aggressive delivery of critical supplies to a cut-off unit in an embattled French town earned him a Bronze Star, the first in his battalion. This is a story of a young soldier at war, a junior officer’s coming of age amid pulse-pounding combat. Before his death, Andy Adkins was able to face his memory of war as bravely as he faced war itself. He put it on paper, honest and unflinching. In 1944-45, he did his duty to his men and country—and here, he serves new generations of military and civilian readers.

Download or read book One Hell of a War written by Dean Dominique and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you liked "Band of Brothers", you will love "One Hell of a War"!Nominated for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize and the Library of Virginia Literary Award.“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...“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, "In A Strange Land: The American Occupation Of Germany 1918-1923." “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, "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. It is as close to the action as you can get, remarkable, brave and courageous, as he leads you through the 317th's footsteps in WWII from the beginning to the end. You won't be able to put it down.” -Andrew Z. Adkins III, "You Can't Get Much Closer Than This: Combat with Company H, 317th Infantry Regiment.”A portion of the proceeds will be donated to programs that directly support Wounded Warriors.www.woundedwarriorpublications.com
