Alex Kershaw
Alex Kershaw has applied his skills as a journalist and author to bestselling biographies of Robert Capra and Jack London. But he is perhaps best known as a chronicler of forgotten American heroes of World War II: the American pilots who volunteered for duty with the RAF before the U.S. entered the war (The Few); the 21 soldiers from one Virginia town who gave their lives on D-Day (The Bedford Boys); the single infantry platoon who defied the first German onslaught of the Battle Of The Bulge (The Longest Winter). His work reminds us of the costs of the war on the human scale.
