Those Who Hold Bastogne
A new telling of the brutal siege of Bastogne, where vastly outnumbered American forces held off a savage German onslaught and sealed the fate of the Third Reich Hitler’s last gamble, the Battle of the Bulge, was intended to push the Allied invaders of Normandy all the way back to the beaches. The plan nearly succeeded, and almost certainly would have, were it not for one small Belgian town and its tenacious American defenders who held back a ten…
A Modern Liberation’. Belgium and the Start of the American Century, 1944-1946
The historiography of the liberation of Belgium traditionally focuses on military operations and the first enthusiastic encounters with Allied troops in September 1944. In reality, however, Allied forces remained stationed on Belgian soil until late in 1945, causing relations to be much more complex than is generally remembered. This paper examines the American presence in Belgium, both in terms of waves of admiration and currents of discontent, …

Gospel of Civilization
The romantic myths of the Happy Isles and bons sauvages of the Pacific and the Shangri-las and noble peasants of Asia had been fed by old traditions as well as modern mass media. Where American soldiers’ contact with the lands and peoples to the west was of a superficial and fleeting nature, these myths seemed clearly borne out by arcadian appearances and the simple lives of carefree villagers. But encounters with the naked realities of this drea…

Human Rage
The more the far western frontier frustrated American soldiers’ control, the more it fueled their fury. The more Asia and the Pacific’s nature and people demonstrated a capacity to absorb violence, the more GIs abandoned themselves to destroying their environment before it would succeed in destroying them.
The Crash of Ruin
In the ruined Europe of World War II, American soldiers on the front lines had no eye for breathtaking vistas or romantic settings. The brutality of battle profoundly darkened their perceptions of the Old World. As the only means of international travel for the masses, the military exposed millions of Americans to a Europe in swift, catastrophic decline. Drawing on soldiers' diaries, letters, poems, and songs, Peter Schrijvers offers a compelling…
