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: Mac Donald 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 Mac Donald places this profound human drama unforgettably on the landscape of history.
