Description: Where Heroes Trained – 736th Medium Train Battalion - Secret Battle Training in California & Arizona Feb 1943 – April 44 by Roger Baty and Eddie Maddox. Fenestra Books. Paperback. Inscribed by editor Roger Baty. Where Heroes Trained deals with a secretive and highly unusual Army project in World War II. Not a Manhattan Project, but taken nearly as seriously, this was a most interesting sidelight of armored warfare. Caught up in the project were many unwitting GIs who found themselves whisked off to mysterious training bases, introduced to the most powerful tank in the American arsenal, and drilled in one of the wars most imaginative battle tactics. This is oral history as it ought to be done: a truly unusual project with lots of photos, maps and illustrations and-best of all-interviews that have been well edited. The result is a fascinating look at ordinary American GIs caught up in a strange environment, enmeshed in events they barely understand, and determined to carry it through. 196 pages. The paper covers are slightly bowed, otherwise clean and tight. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool. List your items fast and easy and manage your active items.
