Biography of a Battalion: The Life and Times of an Infantry Battalion in Europe in World War II

Rating:
Summary: A great book to include in a family's history
Review: For anyone who served or whose family served in the 134th Infantry Battalion of the 3rd Army (Gen. Patton's), this is a hair raising daily account of where your loved one's greatest moments took place. This writer provides a foot soldier's perspective with a Phd. in history to skillfully record the World's greatest war and greatest battle (Battle of the Bulge). A must read for anyone whose loved one experienced WWII but, who as my father, was reticent to relive their story to their family.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent history from perspective of a front-line officer
Review: This book is an excellent source of historical information for anyone interested in the history of the 35th Division during WWII. The author is a trained historian and he also served as a battalion commander with the 134th Inf. Regiment, 35th Division during the war (he was actually involved in many of the battles which he describes so vividly in this book). I highly recommend this book.
