One Step from Glory
America in World War One
From the trenches and artillery on the ground to the fight in the skies! Relive the terror of War!
Why was One Step from Glory written?
Sidney Little wrote One Step from Glory America in WWI because his father was a member of Battery F of the 149th Field Artillery during the Great War. The conditions of fighting, which included lethal gas attacks, led to long-term effects that resulted in his father's early death at the age of 39. The author was only two at the time and therefore did not know his father. This led him to research what would be considered the most significant event in his father's life,
