To Conquer Hell: The Meuse-Argonne, 1918
The authoritative, dramatic, and previously untold story of the bloodiest battle in American history: the epic fight for the Meuse-Argonne in World War IOn September 26, 1918, more than one million American soldiers prepared to assault the German-held Meuse-Argonne region of France. Their commander, General John J. Pershing, believed in the superiority of American “guts” over barbed wire, machine guns, massed artillery, and poison gas. In thirty-six hours, he said, the Doughboys would crack the German defenses and open the road to Berlin. Six weeks later, after savage fighting across swamps, forests, towns, and rugged hills, the battle finally ended with the signing of the armistice that concluded the First World War. The Meuse-Argonne had fallen, at the cost of more than 120,000 American casualties, including 26,000 dead. In the bloodiest battle the country had ever seen, an entire generation of young Americans had been transformed forever. To Conquer Hell is gripping in its accounts of combat, studded with portraits of remarkable soldiers like Pershing, Harry Truman, George Patton, and Alvin York, and authoritative in presenting the big picture. It is military history of the first rank and, incredibly, the first in-depth account of this fascinating and important battle. .

Doughboys, the Great War, and the Remaking of America (War/Society/Culture)
How does a democratic government conscript citizens, turn them into soldiers who can fight effectively against a highly trained enemy, and then somehow reward these troops for their service? In Doughboys, the Great War, and the Remaking of America, Jennifer D. Keene argues that the doughboy experience in 1917--18 forged the U.S. Army of the twentieth century and ultimately led to the most sweeping piece of social-welfare legislation in the nation's history -- the G.I. Bill. Keene shows how citizen-soldiers established standards of discipline that the army in a sense had to adopt. Even after these troops had returned to civilian life, lessons learned by the army during its first experience with a mass conscripted force continued to influence the military as an institution. The experience of going into uniform and fighting abroad politicized citizen-soldiers, Keene finally argues, in ways she asks us to ponder. She finds that the country and the conscripts -- in their view -- entered into a certain social compact, one that assured veterans that the federal government owed conscripted soldiers of the twentieth century debts far in excess of the pensions the Grand Army of the Republic had claimed in the late nineteenth century. .

Memories of World War I: North Carolina Doughboys on the Western Front
World War I was the world's first "modern" war. It introduced weapons such as the machine gun, poison gas, the airplane, and the armored tank. Despite the deadliness of such weapons of destruction and the horror of massive artillery bombardments, generals on both sides persisted in a primitive, outdated concept of waging war. The result was an awful trench warfare that inflicted a staggering loss of life among the soldiers who fought on the Western Front. Jackson Marshall skillfully describes the experiences of the North Carolina doughboys who endured the fright and hardships of fighting on the battlefields of Belgium and France. Through the graphic testimonies of 36 now-deceased North Carolinians, Marshall has captured the pain, sacrifice, and courage of a generation of North Carolina's sons. This is the story of individual soldiers and their struggle to survive on the Western Front..
