Colonel (Dr.) Robert S. Michaelson USAF Medical Corps (Ret.), son of T5 Samuel “Mickey” Michaelson, 397th Infantry Regiment, U.S. 100th Infantry Division in France in 1944-45: “Most WWII veterans had no desire to talk about the war. My father never did. I had no idea what he went through. Then my mother passed away and I found dad’s membership card for the 100th Infantry Division Association. The “The Sons Of Bitche” fills in many of the gaps in an insightful, informative story about the 100th that deserves to be told and should be in every WWII enthusiast’s library. By the end, I had tears in my eyes. I could finally see what my father and his fellow Soldiers went through during the war.”

Tom Culligan, former CEO of Raytheon International, Business Development and Congressional Affairs: “As an avid reader of World War II genre, I found The Sons Of Bitche hard to put down. Having personally toured the Maginot Line along the French Rhine River border with Germany, one can only envision what those brave young American soldiers went through to liberate the region from Nazi tyranny. It’s an engaging story from the beginning right through till the end.”

Anne Marie Squeo, former Wall Street Journal Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and CEO & Founder, Proof Point Communications: “Just when you think you’ve heard every story of World War II heroism, along comes the untold story of a ragtag group of American infantrymen who became forever known as the Sons of Bitche, after the small town they liberated in eastern France in a fight that proved essential to the Allies’ victory. Based on real people and inspired by the soldiers of the U.S. 100th Infantry Division, including the author’s father, The Sons Of Bitche is a deeply inspiring, yet little known story about how a group of young men faced an against-all-odds situation and prevailed.”

Lieutenant General Kevin T. Campbell USA (Ret.), former Commander United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command and Chief of Staff United States Strategic Command: “The Sons Of Bitche tells a gripping story from within the shadows of World War II history, magnificently capturing the human side of the 100th Infantry Division’s vicious fighting in eastern France and the plight of the French citizens living under Nazi rule. After reading this account, one can only be thankful we had brave young American men who fought and won against such incredible odds and helped preserve freedom for America and our historic French Allies. The Sons Of Bitche should be a ‘must read’ in our U.S. military education system.”
