Across the Face of France
The author, who fought across France with the 134th infantry, follows the approximate liberation route as he revisits the towns decades later. This book is a combination of military and political history, meditation on the tragic predicament of humanity, and an affectionate portrayal of the French and their country.
Biography Of A Battalion: The Life And Times Of An Infantry Battalion In Europe In World War II
During World War II, James A Huston served as an operations officer in the 3rd Battalion, 134th Infantry, a unit that helped to liberate or capture dozens of cities across France, Belgium, and Germany. From July 1944 through April 1945, the regiment captured 8,974 prisoners of war and covered over 1,500 combat miles, but lost 10,046 men in the process. “Biography of a Battalion” recreates the action and provides an account of the war from one soldier who lived through it.
Out of the Blue
Beginning with a case study of the greatest airborne operation of the war, the 1944 invasion of Holland, Huston examines the inception, organization, training, equipment, strategies, Allied cooperation, and overall effectiveness of the airborne in the total war effort. Operations in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Southern France, the Pacific, and the Far East are discussed. No other book brings together as much information and documentation on the airborne. Of special interest to the veterans who took part in the great paratroop and glider movements, this book will become invaluable to students of aerial warfare and of World War II.
Roads Without Birds
James Huston uses a combination of personal narrative and interview recollections, as well as a published work from the historical narratives of the local French inhabitants, to describe what happened on D-Day and afterwards.
A Hoosier Sampler
In A Hoosier Sampler, James A. Huston provides a thorough compilation of the works of some of Indiana's most notable writers. Huston brings to the foreground such world renowned authors as Lew Wallace, Lloyd C. Douglas, Charles Major, Kurt Vonnegut, and James Whitcomb Riley among others, to produce a comprehensive volume of great works that provides the true flavor of each author's style as well as interesting, enjoyable, and instructive reading. Covering nearly every accomplished Indiana writer, this anthology will be of great use to students and professors of literature as well as the general reader.
