The Bloody Forest: Battle for the Huertgen September 1944-January 1945
Astor, Gerald Novato, California, U.S.A. Presidio Press 2000 0891416994 / 9780891416999 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good

(For nearly five months starting in mid-September 1944, American GI's battled for the Huertgen Forest, a fifty-square mile tract of extremely inhospitable terrain. For the American soldiers involved, the Huertgen Forest campaign turned out to be one of the deadliest of the war with a paltry advance, at the cost of 4,500 American casualties, and surprisingly little written about the battle. Told largely through the words of the men who were there, this speaks about an ill-conceived and badly directed campaign of the war, which by the time the forest was cleared, eight additional divisions would become involved along with a parachute infantry regiment and a Ranger battalion, so the final count was approximately 24,000 lost to enemy action with a further 9,000 victims of frostbite or trenchfoot. This remains still a good reference for anyone wanting to study or read about this battle.)
