While I always welcome accounts of the less-heralded units of World War II, of which the 94th is certainly one, I have a few caveats about this particular book. For one, the author doesn't write with as much flair about the United States Army as he does about the Eastern Front. Two, I'm going to observe that the bibliography is a bit on the weak side, as there is little sense that Le Tissier is familiar with the new historiography that has elevated our understanding of just how well the American infantryman fought in Western Europe, this is not to mention that there is still a touch of the old school British disdain for American generalship. Keeping these points in mind, one does have a good nuts-and-bolts tactical account of a campaign where the weather was almost as much a menace as a German military still capable of exacting a painful price if one put forth less than a sparkling performance; Le Tissier may not have much respect for George S. Patton (who was admittedly not at his best when it came to reducing fortifications) but he does respect the achievements of the men who are his subject. ( )
