Crogan's march / by Schweizer, Chris.(CARDINAL)561486;

"Legionnaire Peter Crogan has some hard questions to answer. Should he finish out the tail end of his 5-year term of service with the French Foreign Legion, or become an officer? There's not much time to consider his options as his life is invaded by armies of Tauregs, brutal sandstorms, and terrible man-eating creatures! Is he heading in a new direction, or are these the final steps in Peter Crogan's march?"--P. [4] of cover.GN510L

My fellow soldiers : General John Pershing and the Americans who helped win the Great War / by Carroll, Andrew,1969-author.(CARDINAL)281476;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 367-372) and index.August 26 -- The first to go -- Hunting Pancho -- Lafayette's boys -- Countdown -- The promotion -- Over there -- Heaven, Hell, or Hoboken -- Under the gun -- Show of force -- Divisions -- Black Jack and the Hellfighters -- The eyewitness -- An army of angels -- Their crowded hour -- Captain Harry -- The birthday present -- All in -- My fellow soldiers -- Postscript.Draws on a rich trove of both little-known and newly uncovered letters and diaries to create a marvelously vivid and moving account of the American experience in World War I, with General John Pershing featured prominently in the foreground. Andrew Carroll's intimate portrait of General Pershing, who led all of the American troops in Europe during World War I, is a revelation. Given a military force that, on the eve of its entry into the war, was downright primitive compared with the European combatants, the general had to surmount enormous obstacles to build an army and ultimately command millions of U.S. soldiers. But Pershing himself--often perceived as a harsh, humorless, and wooden leader--concealed inner agony from those around him: almost two years before the United States entered the war, Pershing suffered a personal tragedy so catastrophic that he almost went insane with grief and remained haunted by the loss for the rest of his life, as private and previously unpublished letters he wrote to family members now reveal. Before leaving for Europe, Pershing also had a passionate romance with George Patton's sister, Anne. But once he was in France, Pershing fell madly in love with a young painter named Micheline Resco, whom he later married in secret. Woven throughout Pershing's story are the experiences of a remarkable group of American men and women, both the famous and the unheralded, including Harry Truman, Douglas MacArthur, William "Wild Bill" Donovan, Teddy Roosevelt, and his youngest son, Quentin. The chorus of these voices, which begins with the first Americans who enlisted in the French Foreign Legion as well as those who flew with the Lafayette Escadrille, makes the high stakes of this epic American saga piercingly real, demonstrating the War's profound impact on the individuals who served--both during the conflict and in the years after--with extraordinary humanity and emotional force.
