Worth Reading Twice !

We Americans have been led to believe that the Battle of the Bulge (of WWII) was decided at Bastogne, by the encircled 101st Airborne Division in December of 1944. The truth is that the fate of the German ''Bulge'' campaign was decided in (and around) a small Belgium village named Sadzot, ca (20) miles north of Bastogne. This book explains how a small group of US Army mortarmen, tankers, paratroopers and regular infantry repeatedly blunted and eventually threw back a much larger force of some of Hitler's most fanatic SS troops at the very place where the Germans were looking for an open break towards Liege and the port city of Antwerp, Belgium. This book was particulary interesting to me, as a relative of mine was wounded there in the Battle of Sadzot as a paratrooper in the 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion. It gave me a better idea of what he must have heard, seen and felt as he was fighting for his life !
