I enjoyed “Dawn of Victory.”
Thanks! The Chasseurs fought well during the Breakthrough. John P. Brogan wrote some great details in the National Tribune of what it was like to be an ax-swinging pioneer during the charge.
Thanks for the tip–I will check out John Brogan’s piece.
And my book, “No Flinching From Fire” has a chapter on the breakthrough and what the Chasseurs did. 🙂
Thanks–I will check out Brogan’s piece.
