Story
Audie Murphy was a desperately poor eighteen-year-old orphan when he joined the Army, nineteen when he first saw a buddy die from an enemy bullet and an enemy die from one of his own. By VE day, he had killed at least 240 Germans, had single-handedly destroyed a German tank in one battle and held off six tanks in another, and had become the most decorated soldier in American history, winning every medal his country offered, including the Congressional Medal of Honor.

On December 16, 1944, the vanguard of three German armies, totaling half a million men, attacked US forces in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg, achieving what had been considered impossible - total surprise. In the most abysmal failure of battlefield intelligence in the history of the US Army, 600,000 American soldiers found themselves facing Hitler's last desperate effort of the war. The brutal confrontation that ensued became known as the Battle of the Bulge, the greatest battle ever fought by the US Army - a triumph of American ingenuity and dedication.

Three years after Keating's construction, the army was finally ready to concede what the men on the ground had known immediately: It was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend.

On the first Sunday in December 1941, an armada of Japanese warplanes appeared suddenly over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and devastated the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Six months later, in a sea fight north of the tiny atoll of Midway, four Japanese aircraft carriers were sent into the abyss. Pacific Crucible tells the epic tale of these first searing months of the Pacific war, when the U.S. Navy shook off the worst defeat in American military history and seized the strategic initiative.

The small recon companies that were the center of its activities conducted some of the most dangerous missions of the war, infiltrating areas controlled by the North Vietnamese in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The companies never exceeded more than 30 Americans, yet they were the best source for the enemy's disposition.

The story of one of the Afghanistan war's most decorated units and their 15-month ordeal, culminating in the Battle of Wanat, the deadliest battle of the war. A single company of US paratroopers - calling themselves the "Chosen Few" - arrived in eastern Afghanistan in late 2007 hoping to win the hearts and minds of the remote mountain people and extend the Afghan government's reach into this wilderness. Instead, they spent the next 15 months in a desperate struggle, living under almost continuous attack, forced into a slow withdrawal, and always outnumbered by Taliban fighters.

Publisher's Summary
As a newly commissioned captain of a veteran US Army regiment, MacDonald's first combat experience was war at its most hellish - the Battle of the Bulge.
In this plainspoken but eloquent narrative, we live each minute at MacDonald's side, sharing in all of combat's misery, terror, and drama. How this green commander gains his men's loyalty in the snows of war-torn Europe is one of the most unforgettable war stories of all time.

A Real Look At Combat Command
Excellent book on what war is like on a Company level . Honestly told, warts and all. Captain MacDonald saves the best for the last two chapters. I have read other books that describe the effect of the end of the war but the emotion of how the troops felt when they liberated towns made me feel a pride in those troops that transcends the "thank you for your service " comments of today. Very well communicated.
Triston Morris did a very good reading. Doubt it could have been improved upon by anyone else.

Inspirational, same as Band of Brothers
I read this book 50 some years ago, before I joined the USMC and became a rifle platoon commander and then a rifle company commander, so when I listened to it this time the words seemed just as fresh today as it did then, but this time I knew them to be true. I would recommend this to anyone thinking of accepting a commission in any of the uniformed service but especially into one of the combat components. Especially noteworthy are his observations on officer-enlisted dynamics. While you can never be their friend, you can and should treat them with respect and dignity, and look out for their welfare--and they will look out for yours. One thing I noticed this time around is how similar in context it was to the Band of Brothers, though it pre-dated BofB (1947 v 1990), and maybe a bit more home-spun and less polished, but even more than the literary comparison is that while the 506th Parachute Infantry of the storied 101st Airborne Division was an elite unit, the 23rd Infantry of the 2nd Division was just a regular grunt outfit with no pretensions to elite status, but the sacrifices, the attention to duty and the sheer elan was every bit as great as any Airborne Unit. Both books are about a single infantry company, fighting in the same theater, even the same terrain, and while the 101st gained much glory as the Battling Bastards of Bastogne, the 2nd ID held the flank of the "Bulge" and prevented the expansion of the German Offensive, with a lot less fanfare, but with just as much effectiveness (at several points the company even had to resort to searching the dead for ammunition in order to hold their positions). In the final analysis Companies E and I of the 23rd Infantry was every bit as "elite" as Company E of the 506th Parachute Infantry, and they had a Medal of Honor winner and the Regiment was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation to boot!

Small unit combat
Narration is clear although rhythm does not vary, rather sing song. Tenor tonality incompatible with gravity of descriptions.
Much interesting detail and descriptions of small unit combat.
I find it incongruous to hear vivid descriptions of combat spoken by narrator whose voice is that of an adolescent. If that does not bother you then this is a fine selection.

Enjoyable read
I listened to the book 4x before claiming I was finished with it because there are parts of it where the narrator speaks too fast and key information is lost. The storyline itself is well told and the performance is gripping. If you're looking for your next listen and you want an entertaining story that dives into and develops the characters, then this one may work for you. I'll most likely listen to it again in a few weeks just to make sure I got it all.

Good story, wimpy narration
Solid history and insight. However, narrator’s effeminate reading was a constant distraction. Good articulation and pacing, but totally inappropriate for a combat commander. Every sentence hinted at upward inflection or tailed off softly. If reading the book is out, then go ahead and buy this narration, the story is worth accessing. Reading should be your first choice.

A slow start builds to a great story
There are many, many books of the experience of soldiers in World War II. What makes this one unusual is the viewpoint. It’s written by someone very close to the action, who clearly wrote it while his memory was fresh. It does start a little slow but stick with it and you’ll be rewarded with a great story worthy of your time and attention right to the end.

Interesting personal view of infantry warfare
I enjoyed this book, which gave me an insight into how US infantry warfare in WW2 was managed and lead. The author, as a young officer, clearly had a very active part, leading two different companies of infantrymen in the closing stages of the war.
Very much a personal account, and very much of its time (1947). How an African American combat unit is referred to is a little startling today, and I suspect the author left out a personal incident or two in an intention to be discreet.
I respect him for admitting to his apprehensions and fear, and his concerns about whether he could be a decent commander in his mens' eyes.
I was rather bemused by the number of times he names comrades and details their places of origin in the US, as it seemed to be a bit too much detail. There was a lot of repetition too, but that made it seem more personal and less "ghost-written".

Plight of a young and fresh, American Captain, thrown in straight at the deep end
This audiobook is well performed and straight to the point. An insight into what life was like as a young replacement captain, as the allies pushed the axis back to Berlin. This marks my first audiobook that I have listened to fully and enjoyed throughout. Never a dull moment, always interesting and informed. I would recommend this audiobook to anyone, especially if you have an interest in history. This story depicts the day to day troubles and tasks of a captain commanding his men. It shines a light on the thoughts and feelings of a young man having to order his men into potential death.
Give it a go, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
