What others are saying about Borrowed Soldiers

“Yockelson has brought to light material too long neglected by most students of the First World War. His painstaking research makes for fascinating reading for anyone who wants to know the real facts about America’s first modern foreign war."

From the foreword to Borrowed Soldiers, by John S.D. Eisenhower

"Mitchell Yockelson has written an original and perceptive book, backed by meticulous research. Borrowed Soldiers tells a dramatic, often heartbreaking story that has been mysteriously ignored by previous historians of World War I. It sheds new light on American's relationship with her chief allies, Britain and France.  It also stirs renewed admiration for the doughboys of 1918 and the price they paid to prove themselves the equals of veterans on both sides of the battle line."

Thomas Fleming, Author of Over There and The Illusion of Victory, America in World War I.

 "A very fine work of scholarship and an uncommonly good read. In telling the forgotten story of American doughboys under British command in the First World War, Borrowed Soldiers offers vital lessons about coalition warfare, the trans-Atlantic alliance, and comradeship unto death."

Rick Atkinson, author of An Army at Dawn and The Day of Battle
