In combat with the 82nd Airborne Division in WWII |
- Written by Col. Mark Alexander's grandson based on hundreds of hours of interviews, this book builds a vivid portrait of an uncommon sort of man. Competitive, agressive, and yet very much concerned with the welfare of the troops he led into battle, Col. Mark Alexander is exactly the sort of leader you'd want to follow if you had to visit hell or Normandy on D-day. This heroic story and that of the men he led during WWII is an inspiring, instructive, and gripping story. It was exactly the right reading for my Memorial Day.
