On the 29th day of April 1945; the forward battalions of Rainbow Division; 42nd Infantry; were moving swiftly toward Munich. Confident and optimistic; they had survived four months of costly and bitter combat; and soon; it would all be over. But then the road led to Dachau and the worst day of the war. In their collected memoirs; the Rainbow soldiers; almost half of whom were only eighteen; nineteen; or twenty years old; tell how they were confronted suddenly—without preparation; without warning—by horrors beyond human imagination.This book is by and about the American liberators; who have since discovered that no one who was involved in any capacity can ever be truly free of the past that was Dachau. In the most complete eyewitness account ever available; editor Sam Dann; himself a Rainbow soldier; weaves their stories; official reports; other documents; and the reminiscences of several survivors with whom the Division has maintained contact for more than half a century.I have had the honor of meeting some of the veterans of the Rainbow Division…. Like so many of their generation; they simply say; "We had a job to do; and we did it." But in doing it so courageously and so well; they demonstrated that to be human was to be capable of great acts of courage and goodness; even in the face of unspeakable cowardice and evil. —U.S. Senator Joseph I. Lieberman

USA - Ignore the evils of Islam at your perilBy Bill WadeI have read all of Robert Spencer's books and they are all right on as to documented facts. He is on the hit list of most major Islamic organizations because they know he speaks the truth and his facts and sources are on record. I didn't have a clue as to the dangers to the civilizied world of Islam until 9/11. After 9/11 I did extensive research on all aspects of Islam and what I found greatly concerned and scared me. Just recently in Rome; Ga.; a small town north of Atlanta; the authorities uncovered a Islamic terrorist cell in a mosque in Rome. A friend and I tried to get permission to attend a mosque in North Atlanta to find out what is being preached by the Imams; but were told we could go on a sanctioned tour but not attend a service. I fear that most of the USA mosques are condoning terrorism against the infidels. Otherwise why won't they let us attend their services? And why don't you hear from "moderate Muslims" about the evils of terrorism? You can attend any other religious service in the US without any restrictions?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy WILLIAM C ROBINSONWhat an excellent book this is.
