Two Days of Doubt by Hugh Cort from Amazon.com. Also available from Barnes and Noble online.
Proclamations lit up the sky when Romans or Greeks were born and made history. At Buddy’s birth nothing appeared. He was a nice towheaded kid with a speech defect and a flair for surviving usually killing accidents. Sent to California for speech therapy, he played with Spencer Tracy’s son and learned how Walt Disney made Mickey Mouse come to life. The 70th Tank Battalion became the most decorated battalion to come out of World War 2. Assigned to support The Armored School, the 70th had, for three years, been excused from training. Together, Buddy and the 70th struggled against the efforts of the communist crew of the USA Brewster to destroy the troops’ morale and to keep the ship from reaching Korea.
Strike Swiftly: The 70 Tank Battalion: From North Africa to Normandy to Germany from Amazon.com.
The 70th Tank Battalion's history in World War II is one of the most remarkable stories in the annals of military history. Marvin Jensen, a veteran of the 70th, compellingly describes the men, their machines, and the incredible stories of combat in eight major campaigns in the European theater of World War II.
