In 1943, countryboy Leo Staton enlisted to fight a war of global proportion. Having never set foot outside the great state of Tennessee, Leo is thrust into a conflict that would ultimately test his courage, faith, leadership, and physical duress. Through one adventure after another, Private Staton and his comrades experience the war in all of its forms - hardship, love, loss, and friendship. The Crimson Tides of Omaha is Leo's account of the Last Great War from enlistment to D-Day and from the hedgerows of France to the downfall of Hitler's Third Reich.
