George Wilson’s work here is the most riveting account of infantry combat that I have read. His portrayal of the pain and heartache of battle is graphically displayed here. All the contradictions of command in small unit engagements are shown clearly in this stupendous work. Bravo! Lieutenant Wilson.

It is hard to imagine doing the heroic things people like this author did for his fellow soldiers and his country. This books was very well written and hard to put down. If you've seen movies like Band if Brothers this is a must read as the parallels are amazing.

I believe most people would enjoy this account of a young U S Army officer combat experience in the European theater of WW II.

This is an excellent book by a very reflective man. I am sorry that he has passed before he could learn about how his readers felt about it, and his many sacrifices.

A great story or courage and in some cases costly mistakes of leaders. Incredible courage and sacrifice by junior officers at company level. Vivid description of the horror of combat and living conditions.

This is an outstanding book and very readable. One of the best WWII books I've read. This book makes it abundantly clear why they call this group "the greatest generation." The clarity of the depiction of war is excellent. This is a must read. My thanks to the author for serving our country and for writing this great book.

Good book, he is a very good writer. I felt like I was there during the battles.

Without question one of the best WW2 Books I have read.Simple but descriptive and factual...outstanding description of he Hurtgen Forest war....very informative and compelling. Stan Hannan (Capt) ret

Great story of a man thrust into leadership in the bloodiest war in history.

The book was informative and interesting. My father fought in the same campaign. I would have liked to read more about George Wilson's life after the war, and how the war affected his life.
