Parachute Infantry: An American Paratrooper's Memoir of D-Day and the Fall of the Third Reich
from Delta
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:

Its a good book, far from the best, but it covers all the issues a paratrooper had to deal with, both physically and mentally. Combat is not the main focus in this book, but rather the entire situation he was in.

All the Way to Berlin: A Paratrooper at War in Europe
from Presidio Press
Price: $7.50

Customer Review:

It's a bit troubling to see a couple of reviewers here complaining about Jim "Maggie" Megellas being "self-serving" and a "blowhard" because he's honest about the 82nd Airborne Division's WWII mission. That mission was to kill Germans and win the war. Maggie was very good at this as was his platoon,... more info

Customer Review:

A great explination of the real group that the Dirty Dozen movie is losely paterned after. It clears up alot of missconcepions and gives you the real story and the reason why the entertainment industry was forced to not use the real name and actual events.

The First Men In: US Paratroopers and the Fight to Save D-Day
from Harper Paperbacks
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

This is an excellent and easy reading book; however, I would recommend that the reader be apprised of D-Day history before reading it. It gives a wonderful insight to one more important advance into Normandy!

Fallschirmjäger: German Paratrooper 1935-45 (Warrior)
from Osprey Publishing
Price: $14.36

Customer Review:

Another interesting book from Osprey, this one suffers from a few annoying flaws. The author starts the book with a several page digression into the political and social situation in German at the time of the Second World War. Interresting perhaps, but it has nothing to do with the subject of the... more info

Battalion of the Damned: The 1st Marine Paratroopers at Gavutu and Bloody Ridge, 1942
from US Naval Institute Press
Price: $21.75

Customer Review:

Excellent book with meticulously research, you get the "grunts" view what is happening in the context of one of the most important battles of WWll. The commentary from the paramarines is amazing. Having grown up with occasional snippets from a combatant such as "Reising gun was a piece of crap" "at... more info

Customer Review:

Easy Company from Band of Brothers revisited. Two of the men who became lifelong friends relate their stories. Easy to read and gives you a sense of war from men who were there. They were indeed a Band of Brothers.

Paratrooper: The Life of Gen James M Gavin
from Simon & Schuster

Customer Review:

This is the finest biography of the life of Jumpin' Jim Gavin, a legendary World War II leader. The other biography is written by Bradley Biggs and lacks the thorough research of Booth & Spencer's work. Read Biggs if you need a summary (and somewhat biased rendition) of Gavin's heroic life of... more info
