Title: Interesting look at a Draftee division
Product review: While most US division where pre-war regular Army, or National Guard formations the 88th was formed from manpower pool the draft produced. The author has a personal connection to the division (his father commanded it), and tells its story with a great level of detail. While the story is not as colorful as some of the Guard formations (books on the 29th, 45th and 30th have more of a regional flavor) it still covered some new ground about these unique formations. If the reader is familiar with the Army's WWII manpower and unit/personnel formation policies, some parts of the begining of the book can be skipped.
