Sacrifice, dedication to duty, and honor

Few names in military history evoke such emotion and controversy as the Belgian town of Bastogne. The 101st Airborne, the best-known defenders, only constituted one third of the force that saved the city from annihilation.

This book digs deeper into Bastogne’s defense, revealing more details about those indomitable “Screaming Eagles” and the other units that stood with them during that punishingly cold winter of 1944/45. It also presents the perspective of the German soldiers trying desperately to re-take Bastogne that desperate winter. It is a story of sacrifice, dedication to duty, and honor in the face of terrible adversity. It’s also a human story, one that encapsulates the finest attributes of humankind in the direst of circumstances.
