Brought To Battle: A Novel of World War II

A young sergeant, recovered from battle against Rommel s Afrika Korps, is appointed leader of a dozen know-it-all draftees being poured into the Army s replacement pool. He toughens them into an effective team. As they land at Utah Beach, the Wehrmacht hands out its own bloody lessons. In minutes, one is dead and a second wounded, the onset of a pitiless 10-month ordeal. In horrific combat from Normandy through the Bulge to the Elbe River, they learn to defeat a skilled and hardened enemy. All pay a steep price.
