Description
Commanding Fire tells the story of one officer's experiences commanding a machine gun platoon in northern France during World War I. This is the first published history of the 151st Machine Gun Battalion, 42nd Rainbow Division, drawing on firsthand accounts from company and battalion levels.
The book covers every significant American engagement in the war, including battles in Lorraine, Champagne, Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne, and service in the Army of Occupation. Lieutenant Parkinson recounts a range of operations, from defense and attack to trench warfare and open combat.
He also sheds new light on the development of machine gun tactics and shares previously unknown stories about the Rainbow Division and one of its brigade commanders, Douglas MacArthur.
