Beyond the Beachhead, The 29th Infantry Division in Normandy *
*
Stephen Ambrose, noted historian and author of the best-selling Citizen Soldiers, has written a new Foreword to Beyond the Beachhead: The 29th Infantry Division in Normandy. Here is an excerpt from Mr. Ambrose's*
*
Foreword:*
*
"They were the first American troops in the British Isles in World War II. They didn't want to be there. They would have much preferred to be back home in Maryland or Virginia getting on with their educations, getting started on their careers, courting, marrying, having kids of their own. But there was an evil force in the world and it fell to these guys from the 29th Division - the "Blue and Gray" - along with their compatriots in the US Army, to destroy that force, Figures fail to speak to us of the pain, misery, degradation, horror and terror of combat, or of the triumph of the men of the men of the 29th, those citizen soldiers who endured and prevailed in the most extreme experience anyone could go through. But Joseph Balkoski fills in those human gaps in this magnificent account."*

*
"A vital contribution to World War II literature." Harold P. Leinbaugh, author of The Men of Company K*

"Surely one of the best works in the field I have ever read. The research is obviously exhaustive and I am most envious of the brilliant writing style and ability to tie the various elements togeter with superb effect." Colonel John English, author of A Failure in Command: The Canadian Army in Normandy*
*
"The 29th Infantry Division has an illustrious history, of which I am very proud, especially because so many members of the Maryland National Guard belonged to it. These citizen soldiers performed their duty with courage, pride, and self-sacrifice. We owe Mr. Balkoski our gratitude for ensuring that generations of Marylanders to come won't forget the 29th Infantry Division's dedicated service during World War II, Former Maryland Governor William Donald Schaefer*
