American Enterprise in Europe: The Role of the SOS in the Defeat of Germany

Originally published by the U. S. Army in 1945, this book is not intended as a definitive history of this phase of the American effort in Europe, but simply as a souvenir to recall for the soldier the highlights of the great project in which he had a part. One million copies were distributed by the U. S. armed forces in France.

Obviously one person could not gather and evaluate all the material for a book on the Services of Supply of the U. S. Army in the ETO. Actually more than 100 persons, ranging from a Pfc to the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces, contributed variously. Ten generals, for instance, read proof and criticized chapters dealing with their particular branches.
