Reviews
This gem of a wartime memoir is a credit to the men who wrote their impressions, the editors who made the selections and the publisher. It will be well worth the time of any fan of soldier memoirs., What is engaging about this book is that you get to hear the authentic voices of the soldiers through their memoirs, journal entries, and letters. Some are long, some are short, but all are worth reading for the insights you get into the minds of the ordinary soldier and what catches his eye., It is of interest to those with a passion about Norwegian immigration and the incredible stories of the men of the Viking Battalion. For scholars, it can serve as a rich resource since it provides several first-hand accounts from the men who served in the various places where the battalion left its collective footprints. The book is well-researched and provides us with fascinating insights into one of the more enduring legacies of the Norwegian-American experience., What makes this book such an endearing addition to personal libraries is that it chronicles the 99th Infantry Battalion via the accounts of the troopers themselves., The book provides a thorough history of the 99th through the words of its veterans...brings the unit well-deserved recognition.

Synopsis
"What is engaging about this book is that you get to hear the authentic voices of the soldiers through their memoirs, journal entries, and letters. Some are long, some are short, but all are worth reading for the insights you get into the minds of the ordinary soldier and what catches his eye." -- The Norwegian American Hidden in the crevasses of World War II history is the story of the 99th Infantry Battalion (Separate). A small unit that rarely gets any attention, it is part of a fascinating story. Alongside battalions of Austrian, Greek, Filipino and Japanese Americans, the Army decided to create an all Norwegian American battalion, originally trained at Camp Hale, Colorado, along with the 10th Mountain Division, with the original mission of liberating Norway. Their exploits during training brought them enough notoriety that members of the 99th were recruited to start the First Special Service Force and a branch of the OSS. Although they were not initially sent to Norway, they would fight in Normandy, across France and Belgium, helped entrap the Germans at Aachen, protected the city of Malmedy during the Battle of the Bulge (where they stopped an attack by Skorzeny and a SS Panzer Division), helped liberate Buchenwald, guarded the Nazi treasures found in Merkers mine and finally served as the Honor Guard for King Haakon VII on his triumphant return to Norway.This book tells the story of the 99th Infantry Battalion through an anthology of rarely, if ever, previously seen memoirs, journals, letters and newspaper articles written by or about the Viking soldiers., The stories of the 99th "Viking" Battalion (Separate), which fought in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes, and Central Europe.
