RANDOLPH BRADHAM is an independent scholar and a retired thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon. Formerly a staff sergeant and squad leader in Company E, 262nd Regiment, 66th Infantry Division, he fought in Brittany against the Germans contained in St. Nazaire and Lorient.
"A solid, informative and interesting recounting of the defeat of
the Nazi armies. While detailing the efforts of the Allies to seize
the headquarters of Hitler's submarine fleet, Bradham also provides
fascinating individual anecdotes of the courage exhibited by
American soldiers."--Ed Koch, former mayor of New York City
"Randy Bradham did a great service by writing this book. Many of
our colleagues from World War II are not around anymore, and for
this veteran to step back and relate what happened sixty years ago
is a most unexpected gift to our nation. I know veterans will want
to read this; but I hope all Americans, especially the children,
will read it so they understand the sacrifices their grandparents
made so that future generations can enjoy the freedoms on which our
country was founded."--Senator Ernest F. Hollings, D-South
Carolina
"A compelling account of the people and events at Lorient and St.
Nazaire that recounts the German invasion, nearly five years of
occupation and Allied bombardment, and finally liberation after the
German surrender. Of importance to all readers of World War II and
military history, this book is a must read especially for those
interested in the U-boat war."--James P. Duffy, author of "Hitler's
Secret Pirate Fleet"
