Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Bastogne: The First Eight Days is one of S. L. A. Marshall's most tightly focused battlefield studies - a concise, ground?level reconstruction of the opening phase of the siege of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. It was produced for the Fighting Forces Series to give officers and enlisted men a clear, practical understanding of how American units fought under extreme pressure. The narrative follows the 101st Airborne Division, attached artillery, tank destroyer units, engineers, and scattered elements of other formations as they rushed into Bastogne to block the German breakthrough. Marshall traces the action from 18-26 December 1944, when the town was encircled and subjected to continuous attack, artillery fire, and psychological strain. A few core themes define the study: The defense succeeded not because of perfect planning but because small groups of soldiers repeatedly made quick, disciplined decisions under chaos. Coordination between infantry and artillery, especially the ability to mass fires rapidly, proved decisive in stopping German armor. Leadership at the platoon and company level mattered as much as high?level strategy; Marshall highlights how junior officers and NCOs stabilized collapsing lines and improvised defenses. The German assault forces, though powerful, were slowed by terrain, weather, and their own logistical limits, giving the Americans just enough time to hold. The arrival of clear weather and the opening of supply drops helped sustain the defenders until relief forces broke through. The book is not a sweeping history; it's a tactical autopsy, built from interviews conducted immediately after the battle. Marshall's goal was to show how real soldiers behaved in the first, most uncertain days of the siege - before Bastogne became legend. The book is loaded with charts, maps, photos, illustrations and paintings. THIS copy belonged to Richard F. Connell, in Quantico, VA in 1954, possibly a student or faculty member.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Center of Military History is pleased to present the second volume in the U.S. Army in Action series, a facsimile reprint of Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall's Bastogne: The First Eight Days. Originally published in 1946, this brief study provides a combat history of a critical battle during the Allied liberation of Europe in World War II. Outnumbered and surrounded for five days, a U.S. Army combined arms force of airborne infantry, armor, engineers, tank destroyers, and artillery conducted a successful defense of the Belgian crossroads town of Bastogne in late December 1944. They separated the German combined arms formations and destroyed the pieces, halting the offensive. The outcome of this battle was critical to the successful Allied defense against the German Ardennes offensive. Bastogne offers unique insights, capturing the immediate impressions of the soldiers who fought in this harsh winter engagement. The author penetrates the "fog of war" with a coherent narrative that clearly captures the strategy, tactics, and leadership of the battle. This action strangled the German logistical flow to their forward assault divisions, disrupting their offensive tempo and slowing their advance. What emerges is a vivid case study of how decisive leadership and incidents of individual heroism can contribute to overcoming enemy forces and weather. This item is printed on demand.
