Donald Yates, a U.S. 20-year military veteran, has released another fine military periodical short read. Yates, the author of over 15 military history pictorials, has released his latest book, The American Paratrooper. Yates, who earlier published Life of the USS Midway, The Life of the USS Coral Sea and the Life of the USS Kitty Hawk, takes the reader on a tour of the paratrooper's life in the 20th century and beyond. The American Paratrooper displays the life of U.S. Army paratroopers with over 50 photos and accompanied citations, some never before published. The book is heavily filled with World War II paratrooper material as that war by far involved the most paratroopers ever. After the World War 2 section you'll see many photos from large-scale military training operations and a chapter showing African Americans from the 555th Parachute Regiment, who relegated to fighting fires instead of combat, doing a heroic job accomplishing their assigned mission. This book would be an excellent addition to any history buffs' library or a great gift for the same for patriotic Americans wishing to learn about their military.
