US Forces in Europe by Ian Westwell and Brian L. Davis is a concise, illustrated unit study of U.S. ground forces in the European Theater of Operations during World War II, concentrating on the combat histories of the 1st Infantry Division (“Big Red One”) and the 2nd Armored Division (“Hell on Wheels”). Framed against the Western Front and the Allied advance in Northwest Europe, the book blends operational narrative and frontline perspectives to show how these elite formations contributed to American successes in Europe.
Hardcover, 192 pages; part of the Elite Attack Forces series and originally published as two separate Ian Allen Spearhead titles covering each division. The volume is a pictorial military-reference work, heavily illustrated with photographs (customer reviews praise the quality of the photos); specific maps or detailed vehicle listings are not specified in available descriptions. ISBN13: 9780785823285.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
