Uncle Sam's Boys with Pershing's Troops: Or, Dick Prescott at Grips with the Boche
Uncle Sam's Boys with Pershing's Troops: Or, Dick Prescott at Grips with the Boche
1917. America has just entered the Great War, and Captain Dick Prescott is commanding a regiment of raw soldiers who must transform into a fighting force before facing the German Army in France. At training camp under the demanding Colonel Cleaves, Prescott and his fellow officers drill their men relentlessly, forging strangers into brothers. But among the tents and marching orders, something rotten stirs: suspected spies threaten to betray the regiment from within, and Prescott finds himself in a shadow war alongside the bullets-and-bayonets kind. This is adventure fiction from an era when boys dreamed of heroic sacrifice, when loyalty meant something absolute, and when the line between friend and enemy could be hiding in plain uniform. Hancock writes with the breathless urgency of a wartime dispatch, giving readers not just action but the particular thrill of believing their country needed them specifically. For history buffs and anyone who wonders what it felt like to be young and certain about something.
