Not an ex-library book club or remainder copy.Signed by author on front endpapers and title page.A focused account of the brutal fighting in the small Belgian village of Höfen during the opening phase of the Ardennes offensive. Centers on the American infantrymen tasked with holding a critical sector against a determined German assault, capturing the confusion, isolation, and intensity of combat at the squad and platoon level. Through detailed reconstruction of unit positions, terrain, and timelines, the book highlights how a relatively small engagement played a disproportionate role in slowing the German advance.Draws on firsthand accounts, after-action reports, and interviews to portray the endurance and cohesion of soldiers under extreme pressure. Attention is given to the leadership decisions made in rapidly changing conditions, as well as the logistical and environmental challenges imposed by winter warfare in the Ardennes. Illustrates how localized resistance contributed to the eventual failure of the German offensive.Mike Looney never fought in a war, but his father George Washington Looney served in the 196th Field Artillery Battalion in World War 2. As an artillery observer Lt. Looney was responsible for directing fire during the battle for Hoften. He was awarded one Bronze Star with two oak leaf clusters and five bronze service stars for his military service.
