Winter always reminds me of the Battle of the Bulge, writes William Whiting of his service in World War II. Whiting, a survey officer for an artillery battalion, was caught up in some of the worst fighting conditions in the European Theater during the winter of 1944-1945. In his memoir dramatic descriptions of memories that cant fade combine with a generous helping of documentationover two dozen mapsto make for the best kind of history: personal and wholly authentic.
