Just started this one, but the 509th is covered somewhat in it, during the invasion of North Africa, the Bn is mostly left out of most books covering the North Africa campaign, the book is in the style of all Shaara's book, major characters, Ike, Patton, Monty, Wayne Clark, also Col Raff, up to page 210, Bn is mentioned on pages 145 and 146, also 210, just thought I would pass this on to you all.

Great, another book I have to buy and read.

How's the leg?

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
