Never in Finer Company: The Men of the Great War's Lost Battalion by Edward G. Lengel

5.0

In a world where the US's role in the First World War is tragically overlooked, Lengel's work is essential reading for any student of the conflict. Never In Finer Company removes the rosy tones of patriotism from this horrific siege, giving the reader a real glimpse of the men who struggled and suffered and died - and who would ultimately become known as "The Lost Battalion".

Anyone wanting to know more about Major Whittlesey, his comrades, or their exploits should start here. Lengel's craft is impeccable - his research solid, his writing fast and exciting. You'll be surprised how quickly you finish the book.
