Georgia's past has diverged from the nation's and given the state and its people a distinctive culture and character. Some of the best, and the worst, aspects of American and Southern history can be found in the story of what is arguably the most important state in the South. Yet just as clearly Georgia has not always followed the road traveled by the rest of the nation and the region. Explaining the common and divergent paths that make us who we are is one reason the Georgia Historical Society has collaborated with Buddy Sullivan and Arcadia Publishing to produce Georgia: A State History, the first full-length history of the state produced in nearly a generation. Sullivan's lively account draws upon the vast archival and photographic collections of the Georgia Historical Society to trace the development of Georgia's politics, economy, and society and relates the stories of the people, both great and small, who shaped our destiny. This book opens a window on our rich and sometimes tragic past and reveals to all of us the fascinating complexity of what it means to be a Georgian.

THE CAPTURE OF ST. LO
After 40 days of continuous fighting the Yanks mount a huge offensive which is aimed at St. Lo, Nazi stronghold. They cautiously proceed through the tricky terrain, bringing their machine guns, bazookas and mortars into murderous action.
Soon, Nazis appear waving white flags. The Yanks file onward past anti-personnel mines, and are on continuous alert for snipers. Shattering artillery and air barrages have prepared the way for them as they enter battered St. Lo. Snipers are hunted out and the victory is made secure.
So secure is it, that an "Out of Bound" refugee camp is set up, where in short order, French children are observed at play.

THE YANKS STORM GUAM
A tremendous task force approaches hilly Guam, in the accepted pattern of U.S. invasion of territory held by the Japs. Terrific gun fire and air bombs shatter many of the Jap shore positions--then the "amtracs" (new amphibious craft) swim out from the ramps of huge L.C.I.'s and the shores of this Jap-held American island are approached.
A few of the little craft are set on fire as Jap hits are registered, but the remainder get in. The Yanks leap ashore--Universal's intrepid cameraman, Irving Smith, right in their midst. A quick reconnaissance reveals that Jap battle stations have been razed, just as they were at Tarawa and Kwajalein. The landing is successful and the battle to secure the entire island is (illegible text).
FROM NORMANDY TO BRITTANY
Allied planes unlimber their guns on Nazi targets, with telling results. Ammunition trains, enemy planes, buss-bombs etc. are destroyed. We see part of the tremendous variety of rolling equipment which the Allies have landed in France. After huge battle tanks roll into action--the familiar sight of surrendering Nazis soon follows.
As jeeps screech along, one G.I. digs himself a luxury fox hole. And on finishing an inspection tour of the liberated territory, Winston Churchill boards a Naval cutter, waving goodbye to twirling his topper his topper on a cane.
