Awesome! This book should be on the required reading list, at least of the high school level. Our young people should understand what their grandfathers, who were not much older than they are, experienced so that they could live in a free country. I had to stop MANY times to wipe the tears from my eyes. The amount of planning and implementation is just staggering. And the decisions that Eisenhower had to make, knowing how many brave young men were going to their doom.
The only thing which would have made it better would be some maps, to follow the actions.
