Company Commander

By: Charles B. MacDonald

Narrated by: Tristan Morris

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 good account of company, life in the war

This is one of the best down and dirty accounts of one company commanders experiences slogging through Europe after D-Day. It has all the action, heartbreak and the exhilaration associated with war and the triumph of the human spirit.

Lots if interesting details about combat deployments etc.

Very similar in details to Stephen Ambrose WW2 books except thus story traces one man’s journey through Europe

Not your normal war book.

This was written from a perspective that you don't normally get. The author isn't afraid to tell about his lack of confidence, and how it affected his actions. It kept me awake during a long cross country trip.

Good story

The story was good, if not a little dry but the editing needs some work. There are places that the reader goes over places twice. Overall I liked the book

Good Book from 1947

It begins a little dry, like a book written by a young proper officer might be, but it picks up, and gathers steam right to the end.
