John Walker, author of Bracketing the Enemy, will talk about his book at the Stow Historical Society located in Stow City Hall at 7pm on March 24th. This book represents the first full-length history of forward observers and their vital contribution to winning the 2nd world war.
Using the 37th division in the Pacific and the 87th in Europe as case studies, Walker presents a vivid picture of the dangers involved in forward observers duty and shows how vitally important forward observers were to the success of ground operations in a variety of scenarios.
Admission is free and refreshment will be provided. Go to www.stowhistory.org for more information on the Stow Historical Society.
