Douglas V. Mastriano is Director of Theater Intelligence, Department of Military Strategy, Planning and Operation, at the US Army War College. A colonel in the US Army and combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, he is the author of Alvin York: A New Biography of the Hero of the Argonne.
"Mastriano enriches his narrative with an assortment of personal
stories, highlighting "feats of heroism and sacrifice on both
sides" during "desperate and intense" fighting. He also supplements
his text with an impressive collection of photographs depicting
soldiers, rather than generals, trenches, and technology. His
command of the sources enriches the book throughout." -- Michigan
War Studies Review
"This work takes a fresh look at the AEF's Meuse-Argonne offensive.
Mastriano succinctly covers the early years of the war through
America's entry, and on to the defeat of the German Kaiserschlacht.
He then gives us an excellent analysis of the final Allied strategy
to win the war with a series of coordinated blows. Thunder in the
Argonne is an excellent read for anyone interested in World War I,
the AEF, or the American soldier under fire." -- NYMAS Review
