Books about USAREUR

Bibliography / Sources

One of our readers suggested recently that we add a page to the web site that lists books that cover the history of the US Army in Europe or that deal with any other aspects of the US military presence in Germany or Europe during the Cold War period. To narrow this down a little, we would like to include in the list primarily those books that are still in print and are available through Barnes & Noble, Amazon or any other bookstores or through online sources. If you have any books to suggest, please submit the title of book, author and ISBN number. You can email the information to me (webmaster).
