About this book

The Making of a Paratrooper: Airborne Training and Combat in World War II (Modern War Studies) by Gabel, Kurt. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780700604098.

In World War II, few American soldiers equalled the gallantry of the Armys airborne divisions. These forces were often dropped behind enemy lines, and despite casualties they triumphed in some of the bloodiest fighting of the war, including the Battle of the Bulge. One such paratrooper was Kurt Gabel, and this is his story.
