Few people realize the enormously disproportionate burden they carried.
Although they made up only six percent of the U.S. Army in Europe, they suffered most of the casualties. I served as a Browning Automatic Rifle gunner with a rifle platoon in the 99th Infantry Division. In the book, I take the reader into the foxholes to reveal how we infantrymen lived and survived, what we thought, and how we fought. I begin with training in Texas and Oklahoma nd then move to the front lines in Belgium and Germany. There I focus on the role of my 99th Division in the Battle of the Bulge.
