{"product_id":"fighting-with-the-screaming-eagles-robert-bowen-9781935149309","title":"Fighting with the Screaming Eagles: With the 101st Airborne from Normandy to Bastogne","description":"Robert Bowen was drafted into Company C, 401st Glider Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, as World War II broke out, and soon afterwards found himself storming ashore amid the chaos on Utah Beach, through unfamiliar terrain littered with minefields and hidden snipers. He was wounded during the Normandy campaign but went on to fight in Holland and the Ardennes where he was captured and his \"trip through hell\" truly began. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn each of Bowen's campaigns, the 101st \"Screaming Eagles\" spearheaded the Allied effort against ferocious German resistance or, as at Bastogne, stood nearly alone against the onslaught of enemy panzers and grenadiers. His insights into life behind German lines, after his capture, provide as much fascination as his exploits on the battlefield. An introduction by the world's foremost historian of the 101st Airborne, George Koskimaki, further enhances this classic work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten shortly after the war, Bowen's narrative is immediate, direct and compelling. His account, one of the few by a member of a glider regiment, provides a brutal insight into the battlefields of World War II and a vivid recreation of just what life was like in an elite unit. From the horror of D-Day and the despair of captivity, to the taste of C Rations and the fear of soldiers under fire, this memoir tells the full story of one man's total war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Bowen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 193514930X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781935149309\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Casemate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 33","brand":"Robert Bowen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200936198399,"sku":"9781935149309","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a837a5aa-5696-4680-b7af-e6501cf2ca1c.jpg?v=1756788338","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fighting-with-the-screaming-eagles-robert-bowen-9781935149309","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
