Key to Command: The WWII Journey of the 50th Signal Battalion from Iceland to Germany with Exercise Tiger, D-Day, The Bulge, and Nordhousen Along the Way

by Michael Godbout

Michael Godbout brings months and years to life through this vivid narrative of the 50th Signal Battalion’s service during the period of its activation from 1940 to 1945. Through extensive research and interviews with Veterans, the author is able to recount the unit’s history through an amazing series of photographs and firsthand accounts. There are hundreds of history books that recount the US Army’s participation in World War II, but there are very few that tell the story as it was seen through the eyes of the Signal Soldier.

More than anything, Key to Command is a history about Soldiers, about men who sacrificed and risked their lives to defend their country against an enemy determined to destroy it.
