Publisher's note: "Whitlock details the formation, recruitment, training, and deployment of the Allies' parachute and glider troops. First-person accounts by the veterans who were there -- from paratroopers to glidermen to the pilots who flew them into the battle, as well as the commanders (Eisenhower, Taylor, Ridgway, Gavin, and more) -- make for compelling, 'you-are-there' reading. If Chaos Reigns is a fitting tribute to the men who rode the wind into battle and managed to pull victory out of confusion, chaos, and almost certain defeat"--Publisher's website Size: 23.6 x 15.9 x 2.7 cm. xv, 384 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
