Publisher's ephemera laid in. This is number 24 in the North Texas Military Memoir and Biography Series. After twenty years of enlisted and commissioned service in the U.S. Army, Stephen A. Bourque obtained his Ph.D. at Georgia State University and taught history at several military and civilian schools and universities, including the School of Advanced Military Studies, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, where he is professor emeritus. He has led more than twenty-five civilian tours and military staff rides in Europe and the United States, as he has a passion for helping family members of veterans design trips that follow in their loved one's footsteps. Dr. Bourque is the author of Jayhawk! The VII Corps in the 1991 Persian Gulf War (2002); The Road to Safwan: The 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry in the 1991 Persian Gulf War (2007); and Beyond the Beach: The Allied War Against France (2018). His book, Tubby: Raymond O. Barton and the US Army, 1889-1963 has been chosen as an Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) work. Entering West Point from central Oklahoma, Raymond O. Barton's prowess on the football field and wrestling team earned him the nickname 'Tubby', an appellation used by his friends and fellow officers for the rest of his life. Based on personal letters and documents, this biography explores Barton's military career from his days as a cadet through thirty-seven years of military service, culminating with his command in World War II of the 4th Infantry Division during the US Army's campaign in France. Readers have a picture of officership during the intense days of training and expansion on the eve of World War II. Finally, thanks to the discovery of his war diary, readers will have a close-up view of his senior leadership as he trained in England for the landing on Utah Beach on June 6, 1944. Through 204 days of continuous combat, Barton led the 4th Infantry Division as it fought through German defenses on its way into Cherbourg. His division led the VII Corps' breakthrough on Operation COBRA and then held the north shoulder during the German counterattack at Mortain. Now assigned to the V Corps, the 4th Infantry Division liberated Paris alongside the French 2nd Armored Division. On September 12 he became the first American general to cross the border into Nazi Germany. In November he moved his command to the Hurtgen Forest and for two weeks fought through some of the most inhospitable terrain in Europe. In December Barton's exhausted soldiers moved to Luxembourg to a more restful portion of the front lines, only to face the southern flank of the German Ardennes Offensive. By the time the Ivy Division stopped the enemy outside of Luxembourg, Barton was exhausted and physically unable to continue in command. He returned home to live the rest of his life as a distinguished citizen of Augusta, Georgia. Like new [Received in new condition from publisher]. …
