Any reader, writer, or researcher will prize this one-of-a-kind guide to the U.S. Army ground force organization that won World War II. This encyclopedia contains a wealth of information: tables of organization and equipment; charts detailing the mobilization and expansion of the major units; the important dates and locations of each unit; campaigns participated in; and valuable narrative histories of the divisions and regiments. It is an essential reference.
Shelby L. Stanton was the author of more than a dozen books, including Vietnam Order of Battle, The Green Berets at War, Anatomy of a Division, and U.S. Army Uniforms of World War II. Russell F. Weigley was Distinguished University Professor of History at Temple University. He was the author of The American Way of War and Eisenhower's Lieutenants, among other influential books.
"A singularly essential, extraordinarily comprehensive, and thoroughly 'reader friendly' reference that must be considered as a core addition to personal, professional, community, and college/university library World War II History collections and supplemental WWII curriculum studies lists..."-- "Midwest Book Review" A remarkable achievement! An invaluable computation derived entirely from original sources. Nothing like it has been done before.--Charles B. MacDonald, author of Company Commander and A Time for Trumpets
