About Artillery Scout: The Story of a Forward Observer with the U.S. Field Artillery in World War I

"Moves quickly; it entertains and provides a decent overview of the life of an American Doughboy" on the Western Front during the Great War (San Francisco Book Review).The American Doughboys of World War I are often referred to as the "Lost Generation"; however, in this book, we are able to gain an intimate look at their experiences after being thrust into the center of Europe's "Great War" and enduring some of the most grueling battles in US history.Len Fairfield, the author's grandfather, was an Artillery Scout, or Forward Observer, for the US Army and was a firsthand witness to the war's carnage as he endured its countless hardships, all of which are revealed here in vivid detail. His story takes the reader from a hard life in Chicago, through conscription, rigorous training in America and France, and finally to the battles which have become synonymous with the US effort in France—St. Mihiel and the Argonne Forest, the latter claiming 26,000 American lives, more than any other US battle.The American Expeditionary Forces endured a rare close-quarters visit to hell until it was sensed that the Germans were finally giving way, though fighting tooth-and-nail up to the very minute of the Armistice. This action-filled work brings the reader straight to the center of America's costly battles in World War I, reminding us once again how great-power status often has to be earned with blood on battlefields."All in all, this book is a bit of a gem. It is a well paced easy read and you will find yourself rooting for our hero." —War in History
