An extensively illustrated look at what daily life was like for a regular American soldier fighting in this major World War II battle.
On December 16, 1944, Hitler launched operation Wacht am Rhein in the Ardennes, an all-out gamble to regain the initiative in western Europe.

Through collections of artifacts, photos, letters, and testimonies, this book takes a fresh and immersive look at the day-to-day conditions of American soldiers in the Ardennes, and at the circumstances that drew them there from a world away.Through historical documents, Denis Hambucken has managed to accurately reconstruct the daily life of an American soldier in impressive detail. The author also takes a closer look at the weapons, equipment, and personal belongings of the soldiers who fought at the Western front, while sharing numerous personal anecdotes and moving stories.
