Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a firsthand account of the 26th Infantry Division, nicknamed the Yankee Division, during the First World War. The author, a correspondent for the Boston Globe, embedded with the division throughout its service in France, providing intimate and often critical insights into the unitââ â¢s experiences, from training to combat. The book stands out for its detailed account of the divisionââ â¢s organization and its unique origins within the New England National Guard, contrasting the guardââ â¢s strengths and weaknesses against the backdrop of the U.S. Army's structure and leadership. The authorââ â¢s perspective delves into the divisionââ â¢s distinct community spirit, fueled by the pride of its New England roots, and the challenges faced due to the frequent transfer of its officers to other units, a practice the author contends was driven by a deliberate policy to dismantle National Guard divisions. Ultimately, this book captures the spirit and struggles of a specific American unit, highlighting the political and social undercurrents that shaped the American military experience in the First World War. The authorââ â¢s personal observations provide a valuable and often controversial look at the military culture and leadership of the time, offering a unique perspective on the dynamics between the National Guard and the Regular Army.
