English | 2024 | ISBN: 1636244130 | 272 Pages | True ePUB | 7 MB
A complete account of the battle that inspired Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers.
There are few names in the annals of military history that evoke such emotion, and in some cases controversy, as the small Belgian town of Bastogne. The 101st Airborne are the best known defenders of Bastogne, but they only constituted one third of the eventual force that saved the city from total annihilation.
This book digs deeper into the defense of Bastogne, revealing more details about those indomitable "Screaming Eagles" and the other units that stood with them during that punishingly bitter cold winter of 1944/45. It also presents the perspective of the German soldiers trying desperately to re-take Bastogne that desperate winter. It is a story of sacrifice, dedication to duty, and honor in the face of terrible adversity, but more importantly it's a human story, one that encapsulates the finest attributes of humankind in the absolute direst of circumstances.
