Blood in the Argonne
0 - Default Title
Description
On October 2, 1918, Maj. Charles W. Whittlesey led the 77th Division in a successful attack on German defenses in the Argonne Forest of northeastern France. His unit, comprised of men of a wide mix of ethnic backgrounds from New York City and the western states, was not a battalion nor was it ever "lost," but once a newspaper editor applied the term "lost battalion" to the episode, it stuck.Gaff draws from new, unimpeachable sources-such as sworn testimony by soldiers who survived the ordeal-to correct the myths and legends and to reveal what really happened in the Argonne Forest during early October 1918.
