520    How do you convince men to charge across heavily mined 
       beaches into deadly machine-gun fire? If you're the US 
       Army in 1944, you dangle the lure of beautiful French 
       women, waiting just on the other side of the wire, ready 
       to reward their liberators in oh so many ways. That's not 
       the picture of the Greatest Generation that we've been 
       given, but it's the one Mary Louise Roberts paints to 
       devastating effect in What Soldiers Do. Drawing on an 
       incredible range of sources, Roberts tells the fascinating
       and troubling story of how the US military command 
       systematically spread and then exploited, the myth of 
       French women as sexually experienced and available. The 
       resulting chaos horrified the war-weary and demoralized 
       the French population. The sexual predation, and the 
       blithe response of the American military leadership, also 
       caused serious friction between the two nations just as 
       they were attempting to settle questions of long-term 
       control over the liberated territories and the restoration
       of French sovereignty. While never denying the achievement
       of D-Day or the bravery of the soldiers who took part, 
       What Soldiers Do reminds us that history is always more 
       useful, and more interesting, when it is most honest, and 
       when it goes beyond the burnished beauty of nostalgia to 
       grapple with the real lives and real mistakes of the 
       people who lived it.
