The memoir of paratrooper Kurt Gabel-a German Jew who emigrated to
the US in 1938, joined the 513th Regiment of the 17th Airborne
Division, and fought against his former countrymen in the Battle of
the Bulge. Gabel conveys with rare immediacy anin-depth look at the
training of a paratrooper, the dangers of combat, and his
transformation from romantic idealist to warrior. He vividly
recounts the fire fights and such episodes as narrow escapes,
separation from his battalion and his rescue by another, and the
interrogation of prisoners. He tells the full story of his
desperate hours on "Dead Man's Ridge" near Bastogne.
