Bev this is a book you need to read!       05/24/04 09:09 AM Edit Reply Quote BarbaraS Reged: 02/12/03 Posts: 1939 Loc: Wisconsin I plan to buy and read this book. One of the residents at my job was part of Robert Bowen's division and the resident is mentioned in the book. Also, recently a small group of men who are still alive had a reunion and I got to see the pictures. If you can't tell - I'm very excited to read the book! Fighting with the Screaming Eagles: With the 101st Airborne Division from Normandy to Bastogne by Robert Bowen From the Publisher Robert Bowen was drafted into Company C, 401st Glider Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, as World War II broke out, and soon after found himself storming ashore amid the chaos on Utah Beach, through unfamiliar terrain littered with minefields and hidden snipers. He was wounded during the Normandy campaign but went on to fight in Holland and the Ardennes where he was captured and his 'trip through hell' truly began. Written shortly after the war, Bowen's narrative is immediate, direct and compelling. His account, one of the few by a member of a glider regiment, is a brutal insight into the battlefields of World War II and a vivid recreation of just what life was like in an elite unit. From the horror of D-Day and fear of soldiers under fire, to the taste of C Rations and despair of captivity, this memoir tells the full story of one man's total war and is a moving tribute to all of his comrades whose 'luck ran out'.
