FOUR STARS OF VALOR
The Combat History of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment in World War II
by
Phil Nordyke
FOUR STARS OF VALOR
is the combat history of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment the only
parachute
regiment to make four combat jumps during World War II as
told in the words of the veterans and written by the regiment's
official historian. No less an authority than General Matthew B.
Ridgway, who commanded the 82nd Airborne Division during much of World
War II said "the 505 was the best parachute regiment to come out of
World War II." Drawing on interviews, oral history transcripts, written
accounts, memoirs, and unpublished written accounts from over 300
surviving veterans of the 505th and its supporting units, author Phil
Nordyke brings the history of the regiment to life, conveying with
remarkable immediacy and power what it was like to be there, from the
first American mass combat jump to some of the fiercest fighting
at the
forefront of six major campaigns: Sicily, Naples-Foggia, Normandy,
Rhineland, Ardennes, and Central Germany. FOUR STARS OF VALOR is
history as it was lived by the men of the 505th, from their pre-war
coming
of age, to the formation of the regiment, through the end of World War
II when they
marched in the Victory Parade up Fifth Avenue in New York, to the
post-war legacy of having been part of an elite regiment with a record
unsurpassed in the annals of combat. Almost 700 men who served with the
regimental combat team are quoted or mentioned by name in the book.
The ALL AMERICANS in WORLD WAR II
A Photographic History of the 82nd Airborne Division at War
by
Phil Nordyke
The
ALL AMERICANS in WORLD WAR II provides a complete photographic history
of the 82nd Airborne Division during the Second World War. The book
visually documents training at Camp Claiborne, the Parachute School at
Fort Benning, the Frying Pan, the Alabama Area, Fort Bragg, and Oujda
in North Africa. Historic images of combat in Sicily, Italy, France,
Belgium, Holland and Germany as well as occupation duty in Berlin and
the New York City Victory Parade serve as a photographic record of the
division's actions during World War II.
The
All Americans in World War II contains 365 historic images, some never
before published, along with 30 large detailed maps. Each chapter
begins with an historical summary of the actions documented
photographically on the succeeding pages. With identical chapter
titles, the book may be used as a photographic companion with ALL
AMERICAN ALL THE WAY.

ALL AMERICAN ALL THE WAY
The Combat History of the 82nd Airborne Division in World War II
by
Phil Nordyke For the first time, ALL AMERICAN ALL THE WAY tells the definitive human
story of what was arguably the most elite American fighting division of
World War II, the immortal 82nd Airborne Division. Combining oral and
written accounts drawn from almost 1,000 veterans, the history of the
division in World War II is told from the perspectives of the troopers
in the foxholes. These accounts most often have never before been
recorded: they are the experiences and reflections of the junior
officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted men - those who did
the fighting.
ALL
AMERICAN ALL THE WAY establishes an historical record of the experience
of frontline combat in the 82nd Airborne Division. Setting veterans'
accounts into the larger framework with historical accuracy, ALL
AMERICAN ALL THE WAY will become the definitive reference in its
field. ALL AMERICAN ALL THE WAY presents the veterans' stories in an engaging and active
way that takes the reader into the action, to vicariously experience
the cutting edge of combat and the hardships of daily life of these
special men.
