A well-researched and accessible chronicle of
the crucial battle for Bastogne during WWII.
As the Battle of the Bulge raged, a small force of American soldiers
was surrounded by Hitler’s armies in the Belgian town of Bastogne. As
the Americans gathered in church for Christmas services, the Germans
attacked, but the Americans held the town with a hard-won victory that
sounded the death knell for the Third Reich.
Featuring interviews with soldiers who were there, and never-beforetranslated
documents, as well as photos and maps, this compelling
chronicle sheds new light on a day that changed the course of the war—
and the world.
