We are pleased to announce a new 5-star review for And suddenly they were gone. by Betsy Durkin Matthes (author of "Forever is not for Everyone"):

"I cannot say enough good things about this book by Adam Berry, a young World War II historian who grew up only a stone’s throw from the fields where soldiers of the 82nd Airborne were billeted and trained during the run-up to the long-awaited Allied Invasion of Normandy.

As a writer who spent many years researching and writing on the subject of her father, Lt. Col. Edwin Joseph Ostberg, a Battalion Commander with both the 507th and the 325th Regiments, I can assure you this book contains a lot more than factual material and stock photos. As a native son of Leicestershire, Adam has been able to unearth a wealth of personal stories as well as previously undiscovered facts and photographs that you will not not find in any other publications. His stories and images are a true reflection of the love and respect that he and the citizenery of small villages in the area continue to hold for the American servicemen who came from very far away to stand shoulder to shoulder with them in their time of greatest need.

Whether you are a professional World World II historian or merely a passionate World War 11 buff, this is a book that deserves to take a prominent and permanent place in your already existing collection of books on this unforgetable time in our world’s history."
