About

Utilizing firsthand experiences and interviews with members of the 511th PIR, including his grandfather 1st Lieutenant Andrew Carrico of Company D, Jeremy tells the full story of this historic regiment. From Camp Toccoa to Tokyo, and the training grounds of Camp Mackall and New Guinea to the nightmarish combat of the Leyte and Luzon campaigns, When Angels Falls is a masterful narrative by a former journalist and historian who here tells the full story of a group of America’s heroes, the elite paratroopers Angels in World War II.

Testimonials

WHEN ANGELS FALL is the most accurate book I've seen on our unit. Jeremy got it right. It has the most detail of all the books on the Angels. This is the best.

SSGT Jim Wilson, B Company, 511th PIR

Jeremy, you did a good job with your book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done and thank you for keeping the division's legacy alive.

Brigadier General Henry Muller, G-2 11th Airborne Division

Jeremy's book was wonderful to read! I really enjoyed it and it brought back a lot of memories for me, some pleasant, some not. It is a great history of our regiment in World War II, I highly recommend it.
