	All American, All the Way: The Combat History of the 82nd Airborne Division in World War II - by Phil Nordyke
		This book, the first to tell the full story of the 82nd — America’s first airborne division to see combat, and the only American parachute division still active today — follows these all-Americans from their first perilous drop to their victory parade up 5th Avenue in January 1946.
		Author Phil Nordyke brings to harrowing life the division’s exploits on June 6, 1944, where, after spearheading the airborne invasion, the paratroopers proved invaluable as shock troops and were pulled out of combat only to mount the airborne invasion of Holland—the campaign immortalized in A Bridge Too Far.
		We witness the airborne forces’ daring daylight jump deep behind Nazi lines, only to see their initial success erased by the failures of the armored division that followed.
