The Doughboys

In this compelling audiobook, Gary Mead explores the pivotal role of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) in World War I, detailing how over three million American men, many volunteers, joined the fight, with more than 50,000 losing their lives in Europe. Mead investigates the reasons behind America's involvement in the war, the experiences of the AEF in the trenches, and the overshadowing of their contributions in historical narratives. Through original research and personal accounts, he sheds light on the courage and determination of these young men, advocating for their recognition as key figures in altering the course of the war.
