ISBN: 9781932033069.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Battered Bastards of Bastogne is the product of contributions by 530 soldiers who were on the ground or in the air over Bastogne. They lived and made this history and much of it is told in their own words.\n\nThe material contributed by these men of the 101st Airborne Division, the Armor, Tank Destroyer, Army Air Force , and others is tailored meticulously by the author and placed on the historical framework known to most students of the Battle of the Bulge.\n\nPieces of a nearly 60 year old jigsaw puzzle come together in this book, when memoires related by one soldier fit with those of another unit or group pursuing the battle from another nearby piece of terrain.\n\nGeorge Koskimaki was a noted historian of the 101st Airborne Division. His other books include D-Day With The Screaming Eagles and Hells Highway. He died in 2016.\n\nTable of Contents\n\nGlossary\/U.S. Army Rankings\nForeword\nIntroduction\n\n1. Interlude\n2.
