Visions from a Foxhole: A Rifleman in Patton's Ghost Corps
William A. Foley Jr. - 2003
By the time Foley finally managed to grab a few hours sleep three nights later, he'd already fought in a bloody attack that left sixty percent of his battalion dead or wounded. That was just the beginning of one of the toughest, bloodiest challenges the 94th would ever face: breaking through the Siegfried Line. Now, in Visions from a Foxhole, Foley recaptures that desperate, nerve-shattering struggle in all its horror and heroism.
Features the author's artwork of his fellow soldiers and battle scenes, literally sketched from the foxhole
