Description
Signed, without inscription, by author upon title page. [5], 6-192 pages. Appendix. Bibliography. Index. Maps. Black and white reproductions of photos. First published in 1989. "Geilenkirchen was the first battle on German soil to be fought by the British since Minden in 1759, but for the American 84th Division, it was a first faltering step into war and a bitter lesson in the attrition and savagery of combat. The story is told with eye-witness accounts by the men who were there: the British, the Americans and the Germans, fighting desperately for their homeland. Neither side was victorious." - dust jacket. Book as new. Light wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. An excellent signed copy. Book
