About this product

Product Information

On December 16, 1944, the vanguard of three German armies, totaling half a million men, attacked U.S. forces in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg, achieveing what had been considered impossible -- total surprise. In the most abysmal failure of battlefield intelligence in the history of the U.S. Army, 600,000 American soldiers found themselves facing Hitler's last desperate effort of the war. The brutal confrontation that ensued became known as the Battle of the Bulge, the greatest battle ever fought by the U.S. Army -- a triumph of American ingenuity and dedication over an egregious failure in strategic intelligence. A Time for Trumpets is the definitive account of this dramatic victory, told by one of America's most respected military historians, who was also an eyewitness: MacDonald commanded a rifle company in the Battle of the Bulge. His account of this unique battle is exhaustively researched, honestly recounted, and movingly authentic in its depiction of hand-to-hand combat. Mingling firsthand experience with the insights of a distinguished historian, MacDonald places this profound human drama unforgettably on the landscape of history.

A Time for Trumpets
This is the best book written about the German winter offensive in 1944. No book I have previously read compares to the work and the detail that went into this book. Charles McDonald did a wonderful job researching and writing this book. As with any great history you read, McDonald not only tells the big story, but the story of people that were swept up in it. When you finish reading this book, any other book on this subject just does not measure up.

I bought this for my grandfather who was in the battle of the bulge. He enjoyed it, he told me after all these years he can finally read about it without getting scared.
