Zusammenfassung:In Approach to Final Victory: America's Rainbow Division in the Saint Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne Offensives, historian Robert Thompson offers the tale of one unit in the Great War: the famed 42nd Division of America's Army National Guard and its 164 days in combat that so valiantly contributed to victory. The division's diverse population of soldiers from 26 states and Washington, D.C., gave rise to its nickname the "Rainbow Division" due to a remark by then-Maj. Approach to Final Victory is a compelling story of a great American unit of citizen-soldiers.
