Doughboy War - The American Expeditionary Force in World War I

Informationen zum Autor Edited by James H. Hallas Klappentext This multilayered history of World War I's doughboys captures the experiences of American soldiers as they trained for war, voyaged to France, and faced the harsh reality of combat on the Western Front in 1917-18. Hallas uses the words of the troops themselves to describe the first days in the muddy trenches, the bloody battles for Belleau Wood, the violent clash on the Marne, the seemingly unending morass of the Argonne, and more, revealing what the doughboys saw, what they did, how they felt, and how the Great War affected them. Zusammenfassung After the United States entered World War I in April 1917, more than two million American troops journeyed "over there"--to Europe, where the Germans, French, and British had been slugging it out on the Western Front since 1914.
