One Shot

The World War II Photography of John Bushemi

Ray Boomhower

Published By

Indiana Historical Society Press

Assigned to the Yank, the weekly magazine written by and for enlisted men, John A. Bushemi documented World War II through his photographs. Nicknamed “One Shot” for his uncanny ability to capture even the liveliest action with just one click of his shutter, he specialized in “photography from a rifle’s length vantage point,” according to his colleague Merle Miller. “One Shot” captures Bushemi’s early days photographing soldiers training at Fort Bragg in North Carolina to his front line assignments among the grizzled American forces engaged in fighting in the pacific. The book includes approximately 100 photographs by and of Bushemi.

The Diary of Elmer W. Sherwood

Edited By

Robert H. Ferrell

Published By

Indiana Historical Society Press

As a soldier with the 42^nd (Rainbow) division in France in World War I, Elmer Sherwood was an observer with an uncommonly good judgment. If his descriptions lacked perfection they partook of an attractive innocence that brought out the truth of such battles as the horrendous Meuse-Arogonne offensive that took 26,000 lives.

“…a gem of a war diary. The author is a youthful but literate and incisive observer of the experiences of a huge number of his contemporaries who served in the Great War’s trenches. A new generation of readers will have access to this first-person tale of activities Over There.” Larry I. Bland, Editor, The Papers of George Catlett
