Eight WWII battles are examined here from the perspective of the US Army infantrymen who faced the German Panzers. The battles were chosen from those fought from August 1994 through January 1945, a time of intense combat. They comprise a variety of engagements: river crossings, defensive operations, assaults of towns, and other situations. B&w historical photos are included. Vannoy is a project manager for a multi-language translation firm. This is a reprint of the library bound edition first published in 1996 by McFarland.
