Let me explain. Couched in the idea of "inspiration" may be the notion of the opening of doors (or the cleansing of them, as Huxley would have it). To be inspired may involve, rathen than an infusion of the divine, a new openness to the forces whech press upon us. Inspiration in this sense would be the bestowal of new an unimagined (and imaginable) freedom. It was the hula-hoop that "inspired" the success of Elvis Presley. Without the hula-hoop a particular generation would have never been open to shaking their rumps. It is my hope that this book will inspire as much in the "circles" of its influence.
McMillin's singular vision and wit qualitfy this book to escape from the domain of the merely "scholarly" and "academic". Sadly, others may not have the vision to assure this book becomes the classic it deserves to be -- but I have no doubt that it's influence will be woven inexricably into the web of American thought and literature.

This particular unit, broken up into small detachments and spread among all of the Third Army's elements, was present at all the major engagements and events from Normandy to Prague, winning many decorations and leaving a legacy of striking images. A good selection of these are included, as well as some remarks and essays by the veterans of the 166th. That some reflect the fog of war and unreliability of memory in no way reduces the value and interest of the pictures and text here.
Highly recommended for military history readers, WWII buffs, and photography students.

I have found numerous ancestors in these books. I would highly recommend them.
The excitement of finding my ancestors signature from 250 years ago was the best part!!!
