Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett was the number two man in “Black Jack” Pershing’s American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.) during World War I (1917-18). During the war, Liggett commanded the Department of the West, the 41st Division, the I Corps, and the First and Third Armies during America’s bloodiest campaigns with a steady and just hand. This book, The Memoirs of Hunter Liggett, USA, is a combination of his books Commanding an American Army: Recollections of the World War and A.E.F.: Ten Years Ago in France. They are mostly interesting summaries of the operations of the A.E.F. from Liggett’s point of view.
