The Ghost Corps: Through Hell and High Water

The Ghost Corps is a short, juvenile reading level, book extolling the victorious history of The XX Corps of the American Army during World War II under the command of General Walton H. Walker. It's an excellent introduction to the history of the "Spearhead" of General George S. Patton, Jr.'s Third U.S. Army in 1944 and 1945. From the Desert Training Center in the Mojave Desert in California, to England, to France, to Germany, and finally into Austria where Walker's XX Corps met the Russian Army coming, this is part of the great history of the United States in the European Theater of Operations in World War II.
