Much has been written about the famous 'Lost Battalion' of WW1, but few personal stories by the men who were there have ever been widely distributed. Now, Lost Battalion and 77th Division historian and author Robert J. Laplander changes all that in 'The Lost Battalion: As They Saw It'. Drawing on his 25+ years' worth of research into the event, the world's leading authority on the subject presents 31 stories by those who were there, told in their own words. From high ranking officers on down to the lowliest private, it's all here described in their own way; what they saw, what they heard, how they felt - and what it did to some of them afterwards. Often moving and occasionally terrifying, these stories paint a broad mosaic of their experiences, colored by their own backgrounds and personalities. For those seeking to understand the Lost Battalion event in a more direct way, as the men themselves understood it, this volume with be a welcome addition to their library. However, for all it is a wonderful and interesting peek into one of the most famous events of World War One!

Once again, Lost Battalion historian and author Robert J. Laplander takes his readers back to France in September and October of 1918...into the famous 'Pocket' of the Charlevaux Ravine, deep in the heart of the Argonne Forest, where the 'Lost Battalion' made its historic stand. Meant as a companion volume to his tremendously successful book 'Finding the Lost Battalion: Beyond the Rumors, Myths and Legends of America's Famous WW1 Epic', Mr Laplander again dips into his decade long research into the events surrounding this heroic story in order to present another view of what is arguably the most important episode to come from America's involvement in WW1. Told mostly in the words of the men involved (most of which have never been seen by the general public), 'The Lost Battalion: Return to the Charlevaux' brings even more depth to a story which has facinated readers for nearly 90 years now, and will definitely earn an honored spot on your shelf next to Mr. Laplander's first volume!

Download and read online ebook Never in Finer Company write by Edward G. Lengel. This book was released on 2018-09-18. Never in Finer Company available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Uncover the larger-than-life story of World War I's "Lost Battalion" and the men who survived the ordeal, triumphed in battle, and fought the demons that lingered. In the first week of October, 1918, six hundred men attacked into Europe's forbidding Argonne Forest. Against all odds, they surged through enemy lines—alone. They were soon surrounded and besieged. As they ran out of ammunition, water, and food, the doughboys withstood constant bombardment and relentless enemy assaults. Seven days later, only 194 soldiers from the original unit walked out of the forest. The stand of the US Army's "Lost Battalion" remains an unprecedented display of heroism under fire. Never in Finer Company tells the stories of four men whose lives were forever changed by the ordeal: Major Charles Whittlesey, a lawyer dedicated to serving his men at any cost; Captain George McMurtry, a New York stockbroker who becomes a tower of strength under fire; Corporal Alvin York, a country farmer whose famous exploits help rescue his beleaguered comrades; and Damon Runyon, an intrepid newspaper man who interviews the survivors and weaves their experiences into the American epic. Emerging from the patriotic frenzy that sent young men "over there," each of these four men trod a unique path to the October days that engulfed them—and continued to haunt them as they struggled to find peace. Uplifting and compelling, Never in Finer Company is a deeply moving and dramatic story on an epic scale.
