The war will be won in the air. The headlines in big black type stared at Jimmy Hill as he stood beside the breakfast table and looked down at the morning paper, which lay awaiting his father's coming. The boys of the Brighton Academy, among whom Jimmy was an acknowledged leader, had been keenly interested in the war long before the United States joined hands with the Allies in the struggle to save small nations from powerful large ones - the fight to ensure freedom and liberty for all the people of the earth.

"The war will be won in the air." The headlines in big black type stared at Jimmy Hill as he stood beside the breakfast table and looked down at the morning paper, which lay awaiting his father's coming. The boys of the Brighton Academy, among whom Jimmy was an acknowledged leader, had been keenly interested in the war long before the United States joined hands with the Allies in the struggle to save small nations from powerful large ones--the fight to ensure freedom and liberty for all the people of the earth. A dark, lithe, serious young French lad, Louis Deschamps, whose mother had brought him from France to America in 1914, and whose father was a colonel of French Zouaves in the fighting line on the Western Front, was a student at the Academy. Interest in him ran high and with it ran as deep an interest in the ebbing and flowing fortunes of France. The few letters Mrs. Deschamps received from Louis' soldier father had been retailed by the proud boy to his fellows in the school until they knew them by heart.

In 'The Brighton Boys at Chateau-Thierry' by James R. Driscoll, readers are transported back to the harrowing events of World War I when a group of young American soldiers find themselves thrust into the horrors of combat at the Battle of Chateau-Thierry. Written in a descriptive and engaging style, Driscoll vividly captures the chaos and bravery of the soldiers as they navigate the frontlines of war. The book provides a glimpse into the sacrifices and camaraderie that defined the experiences of soldiers during this tumultuous time in history. Driscoll's attention to detail and historical accuracy immerse readers in the setting of the Great War, making it a captivating read for those interested in military history and adventure novels. James R. Driscoll's own military background as a veteran may have inspired him to pen this gripping tale of war and valor. His firsthand knowledge and experiences likely lent authenticity to the characters and events depicted in the novel. I highly recommend 'The Brighton Boys at Chateau-Thierry' to readers who enjoy historical fiction that combines action, heroism, and a glimpse into the human experience during wartime.
