The Sceaming Eagles is about the 101st Airborne Division.The 101st landed before,they had many causalties,but not as bad as D-Day.D-Day was became the most chaotic when most of the supplies and men where lost and scarrted.

As someone who knows Marvin, this has been the hardest thing for him to go through. He is the sweetest and kindest man you will ever meet. This story just proves that bad things do happen to good people. Only a parent can truly understand what its like to lose your child. This book will help those who don't to understand what its like.

This book traces the history of the Army's elite infantry fighting force-- the U.S. Rangers. Unlike today's soldiers that bear their name, these troops were not airborne commandos; rather, a highly trained and motivated all volunteer unit comprised of predominately "tread heads"-- or mechanized soldiers from the Army's First Division. Despite their lineage, these soldiers earned their baptism under fire at Dieppe and continued to spearhead many of the American led assaults throughout the rest of the war.

In a language readable by the youngest of readers, Shapiro traces the history of the Rangers from their conception until the wars end, focusing primarily upon the 1st, 3d, and 4th batallions.

Shapiro relates a great story; however, this book is not for the historian interested in tracing the author's work. The book does not contain footnotes and the author offers no resource list in which one could follow to ascertain his/her own impression.

Still, the book contains an interesting storyline and would make an excellent supplement to other, resource rich, materials for a high school audience. Moreover, at only 200 pages, the book is able to give the inattentive reader the "down and dirty" on American military involvement in the second war.

I thought Ms Jackson the civil rights activist pursuit of the truth was honorable; however, the author was way off base. I was at the Quantico Criminal Investigation Division at the time of this incident, and I am BLACK. My name was even mentioned in the book. As a matter of fact Lindsey Scott worked for me. This was not a racist plot to courts-martial and convict him. I don't know if he committed this crime or not; however, the NIS and Military Police did what they should have done. There may have been some errors in the investigation, but it was not racist. There were many other black assigned to the Military Police during that time other than Lindsey. This book's display of the accounts that happened during this investigation are so far from the truth, it is pathetic. Raymond W. Collier Criminal Investigator, USMC

It is apparent by the misrepresentation of fact, the selective interviewing, and the ignorance of standard law enforcement procedure that Mr. Cohen's account of the Lyndsie Scott case is a skewed and inaccurate portrayal of the truth.

I found the story enthralling and it has given me a new insight in to the so-called Military Justice System. By the end of the book, I felt I really "knew" these people. While the main focus was the injustice done to Marine Lindsey Scott, civil rights activist Lori Jackson,also featured in the book, was truly an inspirational woman. I look forward to the movie! Author Ellis Cohen is to be commended for such a well written account of this amazing story
