"Hold the Bastogne line at all costs." Order to Combat Command B,
December 21st 1944 This is the fascinating account, as recorded
from the US perspective, of the bitter fighting during the eight
days and nights of encirclement at Bastogne. First published in the
pages of the Infantry Journal in 1946, this contemporary account by
S.L.A. Marshall was rescued from obscurity by the US Army's Center
Of Military History. There are few better or more authoritative
accounts of the struggle as seen through the eyes of the American
soldiers who stood fast at Bastogne. Sent to rest and recuperate,
the weary paratroopers and GIs found themselves in the middle of a
siege while all hell let loose around them. This is the definitive
overview of their conflict as recounted in the year following the
battle. This masterful overview is essential reading for anyone
with an interest in the Battle of the Bulge.
