Generals during World War II usually stayed to the rear, but not
Matthew Ridgway and Maxwell Taylor. During D-Day and the Normandy
campaign, these commanders of the 82nd "All-American" and the 101st
"Screaming Eagle" Airborne Divisions refused to remain behind the
lines and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with their paratroopers in the
thick of combat. Jumping into Normandy during the early hours of
D-Day, Ridgway and Taylor fought on the ground for six weeks of
combat that cost the airborne divisions more than 40 percent
casualties. The Paratrooper Generals is the first book to explore
in depth the significant role these two division commanders played
on D-Day, describing the extraordinary courage and leadership they
demonstrated throughout the most important American campaign of
World War II.
