Borrowed soldiers : Americans under British command, 1918
Mitchell A. Yockelson (Author), John S. D. Eisenhower
"In Borrowed Soldiers, Mitchell A. Yockelson delivers a comprehensive study of the first time American and British soldiers fought together as a coalition force - more than twenty years before D-Day. He follows the two divisions that comprised II Corps, the 27th and 30th, from the training camps of South Carolina to the bloody battlefields of Belgium and France. He shows how - despite cultural differences, General Pershing's misgivings, and the contrast between American eagerness and British exhaustion - the untested Yanks benefited from the experience of battle-toughened Tommies. Their combined forces contributed much to the Allied victory."--Jacket
