An account of the American soldiers—the “Doughboys”—who served during the First World War and whose arrival made an important contribution to the eventual Allied victory. Drawing upon contemporary accounts and extensive archival research, Gary Mead follows the American Expeditionary Forces from recruitment and training through their deployment to France and Russia. The book combines military history with social analysis, examining the soldiers’ battlefield experiences, their relations with the Allied armies and the wider effect of the conflict upon American society.
