“Lee’s army is really whipped,” Federal commander Ulysses S. Grant believed. May 1864 had witnessed near-constant combat between his Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Grant, unlike his predecessors, had not relented in his pounding of the Confederates. The armies clashed in the Wilderness and at Spotsylvania Courthouse and along the North Anna River. Whenever combat failed to break the Confederates, Grant resorted to maneuver. “I propose to fight it out along this line if it takes all summer,” Grant vowed—and it had.

Operating behind enemy lines with a wooden leg she nicknamed “Cuthbert,” Hall organized sabotage missions, trained the French Resistance, and sent life-saving intelligence to the Allies.

From the hellish skies over Europe to the unforgiving terrain of the Himalayas, this is the first complete history of the C-47 aircrew who helped turn the tide of war. One of the most perilous combat roles of World War II was that of the Allied aircrews who flew unarmed transport planes into enemy territory, often just hundreds of feet above the battlefield. Tasked with delivering paratroopers and towing combat gliders packed with troops and equipment, the crews braved anti-aircraft fire and enemy fighters without the means to shoot back.

While the Gulf War lasted barely six months—from August 1990 until February 1991—many of the veterans who engaged in the conflict suffered long-lasting physical and psychological effects. And yet, those in power who had the ability to address such issues, neglected to do so—at least not in any effective or sustainable ways. But why did the system fail the Gulf War veterans? Did political leaders have an obligation to speak out on behalf of the veterans and demand that America's military hospitals stop turning them away?
