In mid-December, 1944, he received his accreditation from the War Department and sailed for London. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAttached to the European Theater of Operations (ETO), Olson followed the Allied Forces as they pushed the Nazis back into Germany. He typed up his reports and cabled them to his editors in New York. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the front meant being on the move constantly. In late January, Olson made his way to Paris, flew to Brussels, then drove to the battlefront in Holland. From that time forward, he never really stopped moving. He would race ahead and circle back, hopping from one military division to the next, gradually making his way across Germany and into Austria. His dispatches illustrate--line by line, battle by battle--the extraordinary Allied effort to defeat Hitler. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margot Clark-Junkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 153819208X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538192085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Margot Clark-Junkins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46094451802367,"sku":"9781538192085","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4b21511-fe6a-464c-b214-77c3920777d1.jpg?v=1724844698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/following-the-front-margot-clark-junkins-9781538192085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
