Description

|
|
|
On December 16, 1944, Gene Garrison spent a terrifying 19th birthday crammed into a muddy foxhole near the German border in the Saar, listening to the cries of wounded comrades as artillery shells sent deadly shrapnel raining down on them. It was his first day in combat, as a member of a .30-caliber machine-gun crew. As the night darkened, battle-hardened German SS troopers using flashlights infiltrated the line of the untested American soldiers, and in the firefight that followed Garrison could only pray that he would be alive at daybreak. From the bitter fighting in the Battle of the Bulge to the end of the war on the Czechoslovakian border, Garrison describes the degradation of war in this hard-hitting narrative.
