""No Sacrifice Too Great: the 1st Infantry Division in World War II" is the story of how a great Division learned to fight from the summer of 1940 through VE day. Formed on a small core of combat veterans from the Great War, the 1st Infantry Division grew from an understrength, peacetime formation to a highly trained and respected fighting organization. More importantly it sustained tactical excellence in the face of dynamic conditions as it crossed North Africa, Sicily, France, Belgium, Germany and into Czechoslovakia"-- Provided by publisher.
