Synopsis
The story of nineteen boys from Bedford, Virginia -- population just 3,000 in 1944 -- who died in the first bloody minutes of D-Day. Now with a new introduction from Alex Kershaw. They were part of Company A of the 116th Regiment of the 29th Division, and the first wave of American soldiers to hit the beaches in Normandy. Later in the campaign, three more boys from this small Virginia town died of gunshot wounds. Twenty-two sons of Bedford lost--it is a story one cannot easily forget and one that the families of Bedford will never forget. The Bedford Boys is the true and intimate story of these men and the friends and families they left behind. Based on extensive interviews with survivors and relatives, as well as diaries and letters, Kershaw's book focuses on several remarkable individuals and families to tell one of the most poignant stories of World War II--the story of one small American town that went to war and died on Omaha Beach.

    The true cost of war

    "The Bedford Boys" is a compelling read. A book that drives home the staggering impact of war on a small American town. The book is well researched, concise and brings the men and women of the town to life in heart wrenching focus. I have to wonder what would have been for these men and their loved ones if they had not been lost on DDay. A tragic waste of humanity. I think it should be required reading for every American to personify the idea that 'Freedom isn't free'.

    The Bedford Boys

    Well documented and the way it is written pulls you into the story. It normally takes me a couple of weeks to read a book of this size. I read it in two days.

    WWII, our Country and a small town suffer a big loss on D-Day.

    Well written, compelling reading. Sad but makes me feel very proud of the young men and their town.
