Eisenhower; Author Dedication; List of Maps; Author's Note; Epilogue; Appendix: Mobilization; Notes; Bibliography; Acknowledgments; and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates plus additional map drawings. "How did they do it? is Eisenhower's question. How did they go in one year from almost no army at all to one taking its palce on the Western Front? How did they train these millions of men, equip them, transport them, deploy them, supply them? When John Eisenhower describes General Pershing and his staff on the ship taking his first contingent of Americans to France, he makes you feel you were there -- most of all wondering, as Pershing did, how all this was going to work. Finding out is what makes this such an enjoyable read." - Stephen E. Ambrose. "John Eisenhower has done for the doughboy of World War I what Stephen Ambrose did for the G.I. of World War II: brought his to life with pathos and cool common sense. nobody knows it or tells it with more zest and authority than Eisenhower." - Walter A. McDougall, Pulitzer Prize-winning author. "The advent of General Pershing's 'doughboys' in France in time for the crucial battles of 1918, though late in the day, tipped the balance between victory and defeat for the Western Alliance. More than that, experience gained there provided an essential foundation for the successes of General Dwight D. Eisenhower's forces in World War II. So it does seem outstandingly appropriate that an Eisenhower should now write that story. A lively and worthwhile contribution to the history of World War I." - Alistair Horne, author. "Fought far from home, World War I was nonetheless a stirring American adventure. The achievements of the United States during that war, often underrated by military historians, were in fact remarkable, and they turned the tide of the conflict. So says John S.D. Eisenhower, one of today's most acclaimed military historians, in his sweeping history of the Great War and the men who won it: the Yanks of the American Expeditionary Force. Their men dying in droves on the stalemated Western Front, British and French generals complained that America was giving too little, too late. John Eisenhower shows why they were wrong. The European Allies wished to plug the much-needed U.S. troops into their armies in order to fill the gaps in the line. But General John J. "Black Jack" Pershing, the indomitable commander of the AEF, determined that its troops would fight together, as a whole, in a truly American army. Only this force, he arggued -- not bolstered French or British units -- could convince Germany that it was hopeless to fight on. Pershing's often-criticized decision led to the beginning of the end of World War I -- and the beginning of the U.S. Army as it is known today. The United States started the war with 200,000 troops, including the National Guard as well as regulars. They were men principally trained to fight Indians and Mexicans. Just nineteen months later the Army had mobilized, trained, and equipped four million men and shipped two million of them to France. It was the greatest mobilization of military forces the New World had yet seen. For the men it was a bapttism of fire. Throughout Yanks Eisenhower focuses on the small but expert cadre of officers who directed our effort: not only Pershing, but also the men who would win their lasting fame in a later war -- MacArthur, Patton, and Marshall. But the author has mined diaries, memoirs, and after-action reports to resurrect as well the doughboys in the trenches, the unknown soldiers who made every advance possible and suffered most for every defeat. He brings vividly to life those men who achieved prominence as the AEF and its allies drove the Germans back into their homeland. - from the jacket flaps.
