AT BELLEAU WOOD is the full and dramatic story of America's greatest World War I battle. On June 5, 1918, the 2nd U.S. Division, made up of soldiers and Marines - mostly inexperienced - launched an offensive on German lines at Belleau Wood. Using sources on both sides of the Atlantic and interviewing many of those who fought in the battle, Asprey recreates what took place. He describes the troops and their officers, the mistakes and misunderstandings, the combination of tactical ingenuity and pure guts which ultimately enabled Major Maurice Shearer to report: "Belleau Wood now U.S. Marine Corps entirely." The battle at Belleau Wood allowed the Allies to end the war by year's end.
"Robert Asprey...has masterfully captured the tenacity, undying courage and stark fortitude which marked the conduct of friend and foe alike." (General G.C. Thomas, USMC (Ret.))
