Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best of the Bulge
Review: Simply one of the best books written about the Battle of the Bulge. Burgett has crafted a book that takes you into the foxholes with his buddies of the 101st and shows you the battle from their perspective. If you don't find yourself shivering just a little bit when he describes how cold it was, then there must be something wrong with you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book did an excellent job of telling an important story
Review: Thirty years ago, when I was in junior high school, I read Mr. Burgett's first book on his actions as a paratrooper during the Normandy Invasion. Over the years, I must have re-read this book probably twenty times. It was that good. Most books tell us what this unit did and what the other unit did, but Mr. Burgett tells us what he and his fellow squad members did. I can't believe there is any better history than that to tell. In his latest book, Mr. Burgett tells us about the second most important battle that the United States Army fought in Europe in 1944. I have ready many books on the Battle of the Bulge and I feel that this was one of the more important ones that I could have read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best written about this battle.
Review: Very easy to read and understand. For a person to be able to write his encounter with history and have someone 60 years later read, feel and understand him is great.

I am greatfull to Mr.Burgett for sharing this part of his life with us. My wife's father was with the 101st Airbore /502th PIR /Company C. He was in all the major battles, wounded at Bastogne. He would not talk about it. We now understand him and know what is was like.
