Summary
Sons of Freedom examines the crucial but often overlooked role of American soldiers in World War I. Geoffrey Wawro chronicles how the American Expeditionary Forces arrived in Europe in 1917-1918 and ultimately proved decisive in defeating Germany. The book highlights the experiences, sacrifices, and contributions of these young American troops, drawing on military records and personal accounts. Wawro argues that their efforts have been underappreciated in popular memory compared to World War II, despite their significance in turning the tide of the Great War and securing Allied victory on the Western Front.
