THE DEFINITIVE STORY OF THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE - WRITTEN BY A MAN WHO FOUGHT IN IT.
On 16 December 1944, half a million German soldiers attacked U.S. forces in the Ardennes, achieving what had been considered impossible - total surprise.
In the most abysmal failure of battlefield intelligence in the history of the U.S. Army, 600,000 American soldiers found themselves facing Hitler's last desperate efforts without warning. The brutal confrontation that ensued became known as the Battle of the Bulge, the greatest battle ever fought by the U.S. Army - a grand triumph of American ingenuity and dedication over an egregious failure in strategic intelligence.
A Time for Trumpets is the definitive account of this dramatic victory, told by one of America's most respected military historians, who commanded a rifle company in the conflict at the age of twenty-two.
Exhaustively researched, detailed and movingly authentic, MacDonald's book is a thorough account of an immensely influential battle. It is required reading for anyone with an interest in modern military history.
