First sentence: ON A red-and-gold autumn afternoon in 1953 I drove northeast from Paris through the "Marne country," toward those two little river valleys, the Oise and the Aisne, where already in this war-tortured, half-spent century, two waves of Americans, a generation apart, have done battle for the causes of freedom.
