Reviews

'Master historian Robert Edsel, one of our finest storytellers, has given us yet another work of power and originality. The research is staggering, the story spellbinding, and the writing luminous, the work of an historian with the novelist's touch. Remember Us is one of the outstanding works of our time, a reminder of the power of both evil and transcendence. A truly great book.' * Don Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Masters of the Air * 'Robert Edsel's evocative narrative reminds us that service to others takes many forms, often unseen yet immeasurably vital. This is more than a history--it is a tribute to the enduring power of courage, legacy, and the human spirit.' * Bonnie Carroll, Founder of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS); recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom; and U.S. Army widow * 'This is a beautiful, moving piece of work. It read like an excellent novel. This book has soul.' * Dr. John C. McManus, author of To the End of the Earth: The U.S. Army and the Downfall of Japan, 1945 * 'This is a story all-but-untold; it offers an unforgettable and important historic contribution. I am left transformed emotionally and fulfilled with the experience of towering humanity. This story leaves the reader better.' * Major General Jeffrey Phillips, Executive Director of the Reserve Officers Association * 'Remember Us is that rarest of books, a volume that transports the reader to a distant place and time and draws immense meaning from the past. By weaving together heroic personal stories of the Second World War with the pure devotion shown to thousands of fallen American soldiers in the Netherlands American Cemetery, Robert Edsel reminds us vividly of what Lincoln called the 'mystic chords of memory' that bind us together and lead us toward our better angels. This is a deeply moving work of art, and one you will indeed remember long after you put it down.' * Admiral James Stavridis, Supreme Allied Commander at NATO, 2009-2013, and New York Times bestselling author of The Restless Wave * 'An intimate, moving look at the war that extracts deep meaning from the carnage and loss.' * Publishers Weekly *
