Trade paperback. Etat : Very good. 621, [3] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Table. Addendum: The ULTRA Secret. A Selected Bibliography. Documentation by Chapter. Notes. Index. The cover has slight wear and soiling. Charles B. MacDonald (November 23, 1922 December 4, 1990) was a former Deputy Chief Historian for the United States Army. He wrote several of the Army's official histories of World War II. MacDonald was commissioned as a US Army officer through ROTC and deployed to Europe. By September 1944, as a 21-year-old captain, he commanded a rifle company in the 23rd Infantry Regiment. His company was intended to be part of the effort to capture the Huertgen Forest. They had been transferred north from the area which was, soon after, overrun by the Germans in the first moves of the Battle of the Bulge. They were redeployed to defend a crossroads against the German advance. After delaying the Germans long enough to allow the rest of MacDonald's division to deploy, they withdrew. He received the Silver Star for the action. While leading his company in a counterattack, MacDonald was wounded on January 17, 1945. After two months convalescence, he was given command of another company in his old regiment, which he led until the end of the war. He also received the Purple Heart. In 1957 he received a Secretary of the Army Research and Study Fellowship and spent a year studying the interrelationship of terrain, weapons, and tactics on European battlefields. "Almighty God Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor." It was with these words that President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed the troops that were to mount the final assault on Nazi-dominated Europe on D-day, June 6, 1944. The Mighty Endeavor is a sweeping history of American action in the European theater in World War II, covering the entire scope of America's effort "to set free from Nazi tyranny a suffering humanity."From the first landings at Casablanca straight through to the crossing of the Elbe River and V-E Day, this book tells the gripping stories of all the battles in which Americans took part. At its core are accounts of such dramatic episodes as Kasserine Pass, Salerno and Anzio, D-day, the liberation of Paris, the Battle of the Bulge, and the crossing of the Rhine. MacDonald's sources include official U.S. Army records and interviews with soldiers from the lowest ranks to top-level officers such as Generals Eisenhower and Bradley. Since its initial publication in 1969, The Mighty Endeavor has retained its reputation as the best one-volume history of the American war in Europe, a true classic of its kind. Derived from a Kirkus review: MacDonald's war history starts off with the most flair seen in khaki in a long time and maintains an unusually high degree of readability throughout. As Deputy Chief Historian of the Department of the Army, MacDonald also writes with authority. MacDonald is sensitive to the impact of politics and personalities, and he even keeps the ordinary soldier in mind. Military history that should circulate well beyond West Point.

As a young officer he became convinced that the aircraft was the weapon of the future and as a result he volunteered for the Fleet Air Arm's course for Observers--the men who sat in the back seat of naval aircraft to navigate, spot enemy shipping, observe the fall of shot for ship's gunners, and take aerial photographs. In the early days of the war he was an Observer aboard HMS Courageous when she was torpedoed and sunk off the coast of Ireland. Later the same year his expertise as an observer was put to use by the RAF in a raid on the German Navy dockyard at Wilhelmshaven. Once again he was lucky to survive as half the bomber force was shot down in this daylight raid. He subsequently served at the Admiralty, where he had an inside view on a variety of naval operations in 1940. He took part in the abortive expedition to Dakar with General de Gaulle, and the more successful capture of Douala and Libreville with General Leclerc. Following these tropical adventures he was stationed in the Orkney Islands where he became the first CO of the infamous RNAS Twatt. It was while he was here that he took part in the crucial reconnaissance flight which determined that the German battleship Bismarck had slipped into the North Atlantic. His next appointment took him to the Eastern Fleet as air advisor to Admiral Somerville. Here he took part in the invasion of Madagascar, and was then given command of RNAS Katukurunda in Ceylon, the Navy's biggest Air Station. He ended the war as Captain of the escort carrier Trouncer, and then accepted a posting to Canada as Director of Naval Aviation. Rotherham provides an interesting look at life as a Naval officer in the late 1930's, and gives us some fascinating insights into some of the well-known and some of the not-so-well-known events of the war. Born in England on the last day of 1906, Hank Rotherham joined the Royal Navy in 1920. He volunteered for the FAA's Observer course because of his conviction that the aircraft was to be the weapon of the future. A bright and dedicated young officer, he was promoted quickly, attaining the rank of Commander in 1939. Later in the war, as CO of the Royal Navy's largest air Station he was promoted to Acting Captain, being the youngest officer in the service to reach that rank. After the war he was posted to Canada as director of Naval Aviation. At the end of this tour of duty, having been passed over for promotion to the substantive rank of Captain, he opted to retire from the RN and settle in Canada, his wife's homeland. He took up a hardware business in Knowlton, Quebec, before moving into real estate. Now retired, he finds himself fully employed in community projects in Knowlton. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
