June 6, 1944: Nineteen boys from Bedford, Virginia--population just
3,000 in 1944--died in the first bloody minutes of D-Day. They were
part of Company A of the 116th Regiment of the 29th Division, and
the first wave of American soldiers to hit the beaches in Normandy.
Later in the campaign, three more boys from this small Virginia
town died of gunshot wounds. Twenty-two sons of Bedford lost--it is
a story one cannot easily forget and one that the families of
Bedford will never forget. "The Bedford Boys" is the true and
intimate story of these men and the friends and families they left
behind.Based on extensive interviews with survivors and relatives,
as well as diaries and letters, Kershaw's book focuses on several
remarkable individuals and families to tell one of the most
poignant stories of World War II--the story of one small American
town that went to war and died on Omaha Beach.
