Generals during World War II usually stayed to the rear, but not Matthew Ridgway and Maxwell Taylor. During D-Day and the Normandy campaign, these commanders of the 82nd 鈥淎ll-American鈥� and the 101st 鈥淪creaming Eagle鈥� Airborne Divisions refused to remain behind the lines and stood shoulder to shoulder with their paratroopers in the thick of combat. Mitchell Yockelson鈥檚 The Paratrooper Generals is the first book to explore in depth the significant role these two division commanders played on D-Day, describing the extraordinary courage and leadership they demonstrated throughout the most important American campaign of World War II.
