Title: Great Small Unit History...Some Complaints
Review: I enjoyed this book very much. Statistics for the 80th ID showed it had a nearly 200% turnover during the war due to casualties. After reading this book you'll see why. German artillery, MG fire, etc. certainly took its toll. This book adds to my feeling that company- and battalion-level histories are much, much better than regiment, division, or army histories. I have two complaints: 1) there is poor editing - numerous misspellings, missing words, etc., but that is not the author's fault - it's the publishers, and 2) there are some regrettable and very uncharitable, but perhaps understandable, comments made by the author regarding men who were back home. Not *all* of these men were "draft dodgers," etc., but that is the impression given by the author.
