The Road to Victory: The Untold Story of Race and World War II's Red Ball Express

This is the first full-length book about the Red Ball Express, a critical but unheralded part of the tidal wave of Allied arms, men, and machines that overwhelmed the German army during World War II. This American trucking supply operation went to heroic lengths to keep U.S. units supplied as they raced toward the Rhine. The Road to Victory is based largely on interviews with veterans who describe the obstacles they faced - from the enemy and on the home front - as they struggled to accomplish their vital mission.
