The United States Army Second Division Northwest of Chateau Thierry in World War IAuthor(s): John W. Thomason\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: McFarland & Co Inc, United States\nImprint: McFarland & Co Inc\nISBN-13: 9780786425235, 978-0786425235\nSynopsis\nIn 1927, at the request of his superiors, John W. Thomason, Jr., set out to chronicle the history of the [url] Army 2nd Division, particularly during the bloody action of 1918. A proven writer with a solid military background through his service in the Marine Corps and at thta time two successful books under his belt, Thomason was a natural choice to write this important document. The project ran into trouble, however, when Thomason made unflattering discoveries regarding command decisions of both Army and Marine officers. His subsequent removal from the project (at his own request) left the document permanently incomplete.\n\nHere is Thomason's manuscript, faithfully reproduced. The work of editor George Clark is deliberate.
