The Doughboys Over There: Soldiering in World War ITwenty-First Century Books, 31. 7. 2007. - 112 страница ?Good old Army! Good old War! It's given us something to talk about and think about for all the rest of [our] lives. I wouldn?t have missed it for ten thousand dollars, but I wouldn?t re-enlist for ten million.? ?Doughboy William Hazlett Upson World War I is often called the ?forgotten war, ? but the U.S. soldiers who went to fight with their European allies on the Western Front brought home unforgettable stories. Author Susan Provost Beller shares the experiences of the Doughboys fighting ?over there? in Europe using excerpts from their letters and diaries. Far from home, the soldiers recorded the horrors of trench fighting, the smells of battle involving chemical weapons, and the determination needed to move the war out of the trenches and drive the enemy back into Germany. These accounts give us a better understanding of the war that is often cited as the impetus for the United States? rise as a world power. |
