Description
The 29th Infantry Division: A History from World War I to the Balkans. The 29th "Blue and Gray" Division was one of the units deployed by the US Army in France during World War I. Formed from National Guardsmen from the Mid-Atlantic region, it quickly gained a reputation for its bravery and skill. This reputation was cemented during the Meuse-Argonne campaign and further enhanced during World War II, particularly during the D-Day landings of June 6, 1944. The division's history is marked by courage and sacrifice, from the bloody fighting at St Lô, Brest, and Julich to its later role as a peacekeeping force in the Balkans. This book tells their story using previously unpublished material and images from 1917 to 2001. Hardcover, 296 pages, published in 2014.
