Sorry I was not able to read you book but it went to archive before I could get to it. Sorry once again. Was looking forward to reading this book, but got behind on other ones sorry once again.

Many thanks to King, Johnson, & Collins, Casemate Publishing, and Netgalley for the free HARDBACK COPY of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

A moving book that expresses the courage and cohesion of the fighting men of the 106th, the last division of infrastructure to be not only deployed but actually activated.
These were new recruits, green as grass, sent to the Goose Egg on the border of Germany and Belgium. No activity had occurred in quite awhile. They were just expected to hold the fort since it was believed that the Nazis were too low in resources and manpower to attack. The generals were wrong. By the end of the three week armoured blitz 6,800 American soldiers were captured suffering from hunger, hypothermia, and frostbite. They endured more than four months in the Stalags, finally set free after surrender. "They lost more men than any other division and endured 63 consecutive days of front-line combat."

Warriors does an expert job of reenacting the assault on those disorganized and disastrous days in St. Virth. I could easily imagine in my head what I was reading. The pieces of personal narrative added much to the flow of the action; they added the missing emotions-fear, anxiety, hopelessness, perplexity, cocksuredness. I closed the book feeling like I knew these men.

I'm proud to know that the United States produces these type of soldiers-brave under fire. Citizens should feel blessed that these stories have been captured for posterity. We will soon lose all of these veterans due to old age. I lost my grandfather too soon. I never got to hear of his experiences first hand. I will cherish this book always. Thank you for writing it.

This was a riveting record of the men of the 106th. I wasnt aware of their story until I saw this book title, and I was intrigued to know more. The book contains many first hand accounts and anecdotes, which makes it read very easily (even considering the subject!). I appreciate the author's dedication to accuracy and the book is obviously well researched. I think it deserves a place on the shelves of any military, history or WW II collector.
