Abstract:
Drawing on journals, diaries, personal narratives, and unit histories, Hallas relates the story of WWI's "doughboys" -- the men behind the American rifles. He weaves from first experiences to the bloody battle at Belleau Wood to Marne and Argonne battlefields, crafting a uniquely personal and startingly real conception of how boys from America became soldiers in Europe.
