Red Arrow across the Pacific: The Thirty-Second Infantry Division during World War II
Description:
The history of WWII's most battle-tested US Army division and its crucial role in achieving Allied victory in the Pacific
Red Arrow across the Pacific reveals the long-overdue story of the renowned Thirty-Second "Red Arrow" Infantry Division. Discover how this National Guard unit--which originated in Wisconsin and Michigan but soon evolved to include soldiers from California to New England--became one of the first US military units deployed overseas in World War II, eventually logging more combat hours than any other US Army division.
Far more than a traditional battle narrative, Red Arrow across the Pacific offers a cultural history of the Red Arrow's wartime experience, from its mobilization in 1940, to its deployment across New Guinea, Australia, and the Philippines, to its postwar occupation of Japan. Drawing from letters, memoirs, and interviews, author Mark D. Van Ells lets the soldiers speak for themselves, describing in their own words the terror of combat, their impressions of foreign lands, the struggle to maintain their own humanity, and the many ways the war profoundly changed them.
Nuanced and remarkably thorough, this book explores the dramatic evolution of the Thirty-Second Infantry Division and reveals how the story of the Red Arrow reflects the experience of the US military during World War II.
