About the Book

Incorporating, but overshadowed by the Battle of the Bulge, this battle was fought in brutal conditions during the fall and winter of 1944 by citizen soldiers of both armies. The dense forest negated the American advantages in armor, air, artillery, and manpower, reducing it to a fight between individual soldiers. There are similarities to the Battle of the Wilderness, fought eighty years before. The 28th Infantry Division, which sustained the central part of the fighting, particularly the 112th Infantry Regiment, was a direct descendant of the 13th Pennsylvania that opened the Battle of the Wilderness.

This novel completes my trilogy, which follows the Davis, Aiken, and Hanover families through three wars.

About the Author

I was born and raised in San Diego, and attended school through my freshman year at UCSD. I then enlisted for three years in the Army, serving a year in Vietnam. Upon discharge in 1971, I returned to finish college and eventually medical school at UC San Francisco. I moved to Connecticut and practiced for thirty-five years. My wife and I raised three children and have two grandchildren. My other two novels are “Soldiers of a Foreign War”, set in Vietnam, late 1969, and “In a Dark Wood”, dealing with the Battle of the Wilderness, May, 1864.
