Established in 1669 as a small farming village on the banks of the Merrimack River; Dracut�s early settlers made their mark during the American Revolution. From French nobleman Louis Ansart; who became an American citizen and settled in the area; to Dracut�s own Joseph Bradley Varnum; the town played a pivotal role in the founding of the nation. More recently; Dracut continues to be the home of modern-day patriots such as Michael Monahan; who left college to serve in the Vietnam War; and Capt. John Ogonowski; who gave his life on September 11; 2001. Dracut has been home to numerous other local legends�Dr. Christos Daoulas was the longest-serving Massachusetts school superintendent; and Dennis Piendak oversaw incredible growth and expansion during his 28 years as town manager. Dracut was also home to the indomitable Polly Urquhart; whose name now graces the corner where her store once stood; Rev. Larry Zimmerman; the pastor of the Old Yellow Meeting House for 33 years; and Edmund Murphy; the dean of Massachusetts high school football coaches. These are a few of the many amazing people who came from a town that was once known as simply �the wildernesse north of the Merrimac.�

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A misleading title.By CustomerMost of the pictures in the book are of combat units in the field and not of Hitlers headquarters. The pictures that do pertain to Hitlers headquarters are bad ones.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy john flemingA good book on the history of hitlers headquarters.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. easily half the photos in this book have nothing whatever ...By HenrySimply put; this book is not exactly what it says it is. These Images Of War books are a hit and miss affair; to be sure; and this one is a miss. If one sets aside the final chapter featuring decent photos of the post-war ruins of the Wolfschanze; easily half the photos in this book have nothing whatever to do with Hitlers headquarters; but are instead of the Wehrmacht and such. While the photos that are of the intended subject matter are not bad; there just needs to be so much more to warrant a full book on this theme and with this title. The captions are also as basic as could be(and not without errors) and are really at the beginner level at best - which more or less describes much of this "Images" series.
