On December 16, 1944, the vanguard of three German armies, totaling half a million men, attacked US pushes in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg, attaining what have been considered impossible - total delight. In the most abysmal failure of battlefield cleverness in the history of the US Military, 600,000 American troops found themselves facing Hitler's previous desperate effort of the conflict. The brutal confrontation that ensued became known as the Battle of the Bulge, the best battle ever before fought by the US Military - a triumph of American ingenuity and commitment over an egregious failure in strategic cleverness. A Time for Trumpets is the definitive account of this remarkable victory, advised by one of America's esteemed military historians, who was simply also an eyewitness: MacDonald commanded a rifle company in the Battle of the Bulge. His account of this unique struggle is exhaustively investigated, honestly recounted, and movingly genuine in its depiction of hand-to-hand combat. Mingling firsthand experience with the insights of an recognized historian, MacDonald places this serious human crisis unforgettably on the scenery of history.
