How does one even begin to make sense of a battle where over a million soldiers were committed to fight—a battle, like many, where incompetence and ‘uncommon valor’ existed side-by side? How does the author do justice to the memory of the nineteen thousand American GIs who never saw their mothers again? How does one attempt to tell the story of the tens of thousands more who staggered or were carried out of the aftermath with the physical and mental wounds that would afflict them for the rest of their days? Of those men forced into captivity and slave labor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a daunting task. But like all of my books, I have chosen to thread a narrative by letting the soldiers speak for themselves. If you are looking for an hour-by-hour account on the strategic, operational, tactical, and technical aspects of the Battle of the Bulge, I did not write that book, and you can do better elsewhere. I hope the narrative flow serves up enough of the above to keep the reader engaged in a chronological and contextual ‘big picture’ fashion, keeping in mind that in most cases the common soldier had no idea what was happening around him. I just wanted to talk to the men who were there, and that is what I share with you—their words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn sorting through the stories as another worldwide crisis unfolds, I am confident that we need them now more than ever before. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to know: how did these young people, thrust into a world of unknown and uncertainty, handle the most cataclysmic event in the history of the world? How did the American soldier—like my late friend, scrawny orphan and replacement GI Francis Currey, MOH—average age just nineteen, cope with being thousands of miles away from family, freezing in the most brutal temperatures in modern European memory, pushing back against a quarter-million-man counterattack through the Ardennes Forest in the bloodiest single battle fought by the United States in World War II? How did the kids like Frank, who admittedly went into the Army “to get the hell out of Hurleyville, New York”—only to be deemed ‘too immature’ to be an officer—stand up against an onslaught of German tanks and infantry in endless days where fighting began long before daylight?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“We were not prepared for it because we were told it wouldn’t happen,” he remarked to an interviewer in later years. “We didn’t even know where we were.” But as the first German tank crossed his path at 4:00 AM on December 21, 1944, his instincts and training kicked in. Seven months later, on July 27, 1945, the Medal of Honor was presented to Currey by the 30th Infantry Division commander, Major General Leland Hobbs, in front of the assembled division.

While we were going through, in transit, we stopped at a big Italian barn; they had a kitchen set up, and we had our own mess kits. As we were going through the line, we saw this huge rack of shelves with American Army duffel bags packed on there. And Hendrickson said to me, ‘Hey, Tony, you know what? My brother must be in the area someplace. There’s his duffel bag.’ The name was stenciled on. So I said, ‘That’s nice.’ [But] I was thinking, why is his duffel bag there? Well, there was a military policeman guarding these bags. I went back to the MP.

of World War II. You will visit with the people on the homefront, from schoolkids navigating growing up during the Great Depression and the War, to the women on the factory floor and the armed services, newly independent but having to fight for their rights and later, their jobs, laying the seeds of societal change for the future. You will meet war brides on the ships' decks over the Atlantic, and follow the challenges they faced growing up in a Europe at war, meeting their GIs, and then starting new families in a new environment. Lastly, you will sit down with the displaced children of World War II who struggled to survive as totalitarian thugs marched into and upended their worlds for years to come, but who survived to tell their personal tales of suffering, and express their gratitude, to young Americans who took the time to listen to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"If it had not been for the women going out the door, there would have been no spring in 1944.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e280 PAGES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAUTHOR’S NOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WATERSHED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART ONE: WORKING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE LABOR ACTIVIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAY DISCRIMINATION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWARTIME IN THE FACTORY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRECRUITING WOMEN WORKERS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE UNION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘WE FELT THE DANGER TO OUR COUNTRY’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘I’M DOING A GOOD JOB WHERE I AM’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIFT WORK SISTERS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘YOU’RE MORE TALENTED THAN THAT’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHIRTY CENTS AN HOUR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE LOS ALAMOS SECRETARY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDR.
