Overview

Incorporating, but overshadowed by the Battle of the Bulge, this battle was fought in brutal conditions during the fall and winter of 1944 by citizen soldiers of both armies. The dense forest negated the American advantages in armor, air, artillery, and manpower, reducing it to a fight between individual soldiers. There are similarities to the Battle of the Wilderness, fought eighty years before. The 28th Infantry Division, which sustained the central part of the fighting, particularly the 112th Infantry Regiment, was a direct descendant of the 13th Pennsylvania that opened the Battle of the Wilderness. This novel completes my trilogy, which follows the Davis, Aiken, and Hanover families through three wars.
