4.9/5 (11147 ratings)

Description:Oral history of a US Army infantry division's "coming of age" in African desert conflict against some of the Wehrmacht's finest. Veterans of the 9th US Infantry Division recall the costly lessons of Tunisia in 1943. Brig. Gen (ret) Lewis E Maness, then a rifle company commander of the 47th Infantry: "I commend the author for his thorough research. It is the only 'total picture' of the Battle of El Guettar ever published. Colonel Phillips brings out the good and the bad of our force's performance and is not afraid to tell it like it was." Brig. Gen (ret) Frank L Gunn, then an executive officer and acting battalion commander of the 39th infantry: "Phillips' book reflects great research to determine the facts as they happened and the lessons to be learned therefrom. He pulls no punches. The book qualifies as a valuable reference for students at Army schools and colleges." Dr. Ernst Breitenberger, then a machine gunner of the 10th Panzer Division and presently a senior physics professor with a well known US graduate school: "Any number of writers have seen battle only through the records. Phillips was there and goes farther, seeking other eyewitnesses, even locating some of us who were then the enemy. Vague or confused as such recollections often are after 48 years, the common denominator of many of them probably approximates the truth. I wish there were more military writing like this. We owe the truth to the many who gave all they had in the belief they were fighting for a worthy cause." Col (ret) Frank R Veale, then the 9th Division's assistant G1: "Phillips has written a first-rate account of one of WWII's bloodiest and most pivotal battles. As a combat company officer at the center of the action, during which he was wounded, Red gives us not only his first-hand report of the fighting, but his personally researched comments, both critical and favorable, of participants of all ranks up to and including Old Blood and Guts, himself."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
