Less than a year later, they parachuted into history leading Operation Husky to liberate Sicily on 9 July, 1943.

For the rest of the war they found themselves in the thick of the action- Sicily, Italian Mainland, D-Day, Operation Market Garden, and finally Berlin.

This book tells the story of training, preparing, landing, combat in the words of soldiers who were there and experienced fighting first-hand, making this a title to appeal to any military enthusiast.

This is the first title covering the 82nd in World War II, with their history from Operation Market Garden to Berlin.
