Title: The Lost Battle
Review: If you want to read a fascinating history of a major defeat of the American Army in World War ll this is it. Most historians write very little of this battle as the Army tried to cover it up and the Battle of the Bulge started during this time. Charles MacDonald does an excellent job in describing the horror that six American divisions endured over a six month period because of ego and poor leadership at the high command level. This book really fueled my interest in this battle and I took a couple of trips through this area as most of it is now a German Nature Park. The reminders of this battle are everywhere and MacDonald's descriptions of the terrain that the soldiers fought is accurate. Of the several books now out about the Huertgen Forest I feel this is the best and most accurate. I loaned my original copy out never to be seen again and ordered another from Amazon for my library.
