{"product_id":"dday-with-the-screaming-eagles-9781932033021","title":"D-Day with the Screaming Eagles","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany professional historians have recorded the actions of D-Day but here is an account of the airborne actions as described by the actual men themselves in eyewitness detail.  Participants range from division command personnel to regimental  battalion  company and battery commanders to chaplains  surgeons  enlisted medics  platoon sergeants  squad leaders and the rough  tough troopers who adapted quickly to fighting in mixed  unfamiliar groups after a badly scattered drop - and yet managed to gain the objectives set for them in the hedgerow country of Normandy.  This book is primary source material. It is a \"must read\" for anyone interested in the Normandy landings  the 101st Airborne Division and World War ll in general. Hearing the soldiers speak is an entirely different experience from reading about the action in a narrative history.  Table of Contents  Foreword by Gerald J. Higgins  Major General  U.S. Army  Ret.
