For a few critical days while the fate of occupied Europe hung in the balance these troopers held their ground against savage assaults. In doing so they changed the course of World War II. Within hours of landing in Normandy the paratroopers of the 505 Parachute Infantry Regiment had gathered in the darkened fields outside Ste. Mere Eglise and moved rapidly to the edge of town. A French civilian pointed out the German positions and in a lightning attack the GI's liberated the first town in Europe planting the United States flag on top of city hall. Shortly after daylight as reports streamed in Allied commanders were shocked to learn that the 505 was the only one of six U.S. parachute regiments to hit its mark. Because Ste. Mere Eglise was the gateway to Utah Beach the regiment--now fighting virtually alone--hastily dug in to await the German counterattacks that were sure to follow. Colonel Bill Ekman and his men held critical ground: half of the American invasion force was to pass through this area and that would only happen if the 505 held Ste. Mere Eglise. It was an almost unimaginable challenge: at ten that morning the German attacks began and by early afternoon enemy armored columns were slamming GI lines from three directions in an attempt to reach the vulnerable invasion beaches. But despite heavy losses the 505 was still in control of Ste. Mere Eglise on June 8 when they were relieved by units that came across the beach. When their unseasoned replacements faltered U.S. commanders called on the exhausted paratroopers to stay in the fight and lead the series of ground assaults that would secure the invasion. A single unit a relative handful of men had helped turn the course of one of the most important battles of the war. ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> New York : HarperCollins, c2006. hardcover

Father Joe is Tony Hendra's inspiring true story of finding faith friendship and family through the decades-long influence of a surpassingly wise Benedictine monk named Father Joseph Warrillow. Like everything human it started with sex. In 1955 fourteen-year-old Tony found himself entangled with a married Catholic woman. In Cold War England where Catholicism was the subject of news stories and Graham Greene bestsellers Tony was whisked off by the woman's husband to see a priest and be saved. Yet what he found was a far cry from the priests he'd known at Catholic school where boys were beaten with belts or set upon by dogs. Instead he met Father Joe a gentle stammering ungainly Benedictine who never used the words "wrong" or "guilt" who believed that God was in everyone and that "the only sin was selfishness." During the next forty years as his life and career drastically ebbed and flowed Tony discovered that his visits to Father Joe remained the one constant in his life-the relationship that in the most serious sense saved it. From the fifties and his adolescent desire to join an abbey himself; to the sixties when attending Cambridge and seeing the satire of Beyond the Fringe convinced him to change the world with laughter not prayer; to the seventies and successful stints as an original editor of National Lampoon and a writer of Lemmings the off-Broadway smash that introduced John Belushi and Chevy Chase; to professional disaster after co-creating the legendary English series Spitting Image; from drinking to drugs from a failed first marriage to a successful second and the miracle of parenthood-the years only deepened Tony's need for the wisdom of his other and more real father creating a bond that could not be broken even by death. A startling departure for this acclaimed satirist Father Joe is a sincere account of how Tony Hendra learned to love. It's the story of a whole generation looking for a way back from mockery and irony looking for its own Father Joe and a testament to one of the most charismatic mentors in modern literature. ; TONY HENDRA attended Cambridge University where he performed frequently with friends and future Monty Pythons John Cleese and Graham Chapman. He is the author of Going Too Far a classic history of modern American satire. He was editor in chief of Spy magazine an original editor of the National Lampoon and he played Ian Faith in the movie This Is Spinal Tap. He has written frequently for New York Harper's GQ Vanity Fair Men's Journal and Esquire among other magazines. He is married to Carla Hendra; they have three young children Lucy Sebastian and Nicholas. ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> New York : Random House, c2004. hardcover

Deep in the jungles of Vietnam Alpha Troop 1st Squadron 11th Armored Cavalry the famed Blackhorse Regiment was a specialized cavalry outfit equipped with tanks and armored assault vehicles. On the morning of March 26 1970 they began hearing radio calls from an infantry unit four kilometers away that had stumbled into a hidden North Vietnamese Army stronghold. Outnumbered at least six to one the ninety-man American company was quickly surrounded pinned down and fighting for its existence. Helicopters could not penetrate the dense jungle and artillery and air support could not be targeted effectively. The company was fated to be worn down and eventually all killed or captured. Overhearing the calls for help on his radio Captain John Poindexter Alpha Troop's twenty-five-year-old commander realized that his outfit was the only hope for the trapped company. It just might be possible that they could "bust" enough jungle by nightfall to reach them. Not making the attempt was deemed unacceptable so he ordered his men to "saddle up." With the courage and determination that makes legends out of ordinary men they effected a daring rescue and fought a pitched battle-at considerable cost. Many brave deeds were done that day and Captain Poindexter tried to make sure his men were recognized for their actions. Thirty years later Poindexter was made aware that his award recommendations and even the records of the battle had somehow gone missing. Thus began the second phase of this remarkable story: a "battle" to ensure that his brave men's accomplishments would never be forgotten again. The full circle was completed when President Obama stepped to the podium on October 20 2009 to award the Alpha Troop with the Presidential Unit Citation: the highest combat award that can be given to a military unit. ; PHILIP KEITH became a naval aviator after graduating from Harvard. During three tours in Vietnam he was awarded among other decorations the Presidential Unit Citation the Air Medal for Gallantry the Purple Heart and the Navy Commendation Medal. Keith is also a columnist for the Southampton Press and a feature writer for magazines. He lives in Southampton Long Island.; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> New York : St. Martin's Press, c2012. hardcover

McErery's Rifle Company-the legendary K/3/5 of the First Marine Division made famous by the HBO miniseries The Pacific-fought in some of the most ferocious battles of the war. In searing detail the author takes us back to Guadalcanal where American forces first turned the tide against the Japanese; Cape Gloucester where 1300 Marines were killed or wounded; and bloody Peleliu where McEnery assumed command of the company and helped hasten the final defeat of the Japanese garrison after weeks of torturous cave-to-cave fighting. McEnery's story is a no-holds-barred grunt's-eye view of the sacrifices suffering and raw courage of the men in the foxholes locked in mortal combat with an implacable enemy sworn to fight to the death. From bayonet charges and hand-to-hand combat to midnight banzai attacks and the loss of close buddies the rifle squad leader spares no details chronicling his odyssey from boot camp through twenty-eight months of hellish combat until his eventual return home. He has given us an unforgettable portrait of men at war. ; Jim McEnery served in the 1st Marine Division's famed K-3-5 rifle company in World War II and fought in three major campaigns against the Japanese. After the war he moved to New Jersey and worked at Rutgers University until retirement. He passed away in September 2012.; Bill Sloan is a respected military historian and author of more than a dozen books including Brotherhood of Heroes: The Ultimate Battle. He lives in Dallas Texas.; ents: A nice day for a boat ride -- Always a Marine at heart -- Disaster at sea slaughter ashore -- Bushido takes a beating -- Japan's offensive hits a wall -- "We've got the bastards licked" -- Red mud red blood green hell -- The crab and coconut wars -- Peleliu "A terrible mistake" -- The worst nightmare yet -- Going back to the real world. ; ConFINE/FINE <br/> <br/> New York : Simon & Schuster, 2012. hardcover
