    'Over-fed, over-paid, over-sexed - and over here'. It is sad, and slanderous, that this is still the description of the 'Yanks' who enlivened British life during the second half of World War II which is best remembered on both sides of the Atlantic. In this book Norman Longmate investigates and establishes the truth behind the legend, tracing the story of the GIs from the United States' gradual involvement in Europe's war, and the first arrival of the Americans in Ulster in January 1942 until their mass exodus after D-Day in June 1944 and their final departure in the summer and autumn of 1945. The theme is the impact upon impressionable young men, almost all of whom had never been outside their own country before and many of whom had never met an Englishman, of the British way of life, and of the effects, equally traumatic, upon the citizens of the British Isles, most of whom had never spoken to an American, of the 156".
