Four Stars of Valor
Author: Phil Nordyke Author Phil Nordyke brings the history of the regiment to life, conveying with remarkable immediacy and power what it was like to be there—from the first American mass combat jump to some of the fiercest fighting at the forefront of six major campaigns: Sicily, Naples-Foggia, Normandy, Rhineland, Ardennes, and Central Germany. Four Stars of Valor is history as was lived by the men of the 505th, from their pre-war coming of age in the regiment, through the end of World War II, when they marched in the Victory Parade up Fifth Avenue in New York, to the post-war legacy of having been part of an elite regiment with a record unsurpassed in the annals of combat.
