2007 Zenith Press first edition hardcover with the original first dust jacket and publishers card attached in inside rear.
Before D-Day, regular army soldiers called the National Guardsmen of Virginia's 116th Infantry Regiment "Home Nannies" and "Weekend Warriors" and worse. On June 6, 1944, on Omaha Beach, however, these proud Virginians who carried the legacy of the famed Stonewall Brigade showed the regular army and the world what true valor really was.
In this moving World War II memoir, the author captures the life of GI Joe from pre-Pearl Harbor days through training, deployment overseas, and more training. All leads up to D-Day and Normandy on June 6, 1944, when Sergeant Bob Slaughter came across Omaha Beach with Company D of the 116th Infantry and the Bedford Boys.
Of the many books covering the dramatic D-Day invasion in 1944, there are relatively few first-hand actual accounts from those who survived the initial assault on Omaha Beach, let alone live long enough to write about it.
Thankfully, Sgt. Bob Slaughter wrote this before he passed (he passed away in 2012 and his story was published in 2007) he was a voice of a generation of (very) young men that accomplished the deadly and daring task of storming the beaches of Normandy against overwhelming odds.
Slaughter's book serves as a shining example of the type of individual that carried out the D-Day operation.
