Synopsis

""Bastogne"" is a historical account of the first eight days of the Battle of the Bulge, specifically focusing on the experiences of the 101st Airborne Division as they were surrounded by German forces in the Belgian town of Bastogne.

Marshall draws on his own experiences as well as interviews with soldiers who fought in the battle to provide a comprehensive and engaging narrative of the conflict. He covers the strategic and tactical decisions made by both sides, the harsh winter conditions faced by the soldiers, and the heroism and sacrifice of those who fought and died in the battle.
