"I wanted people to be thrust into the role of the World War II paratrooper, to know who these men were, and have the reader get a visceral sense of what that action was like." notes author and military historian Flint Whitlock.
A 1965 graduate of the Army's Airborne School at Ft. Benning, Georgia, Whitlock spent five years on active duty, including a combat tour in Vietnam. He is the author of nine books, six of which are about World War II, and is currently the editor of WWII Quarterly.
