Company Commander
By Charles B. MacDonald
One of the greatest WW2 memoirs of all time.
In this extraordinary book, Charles B. MacDonald recounts his personal, authentic story of the front-line during World War Two.
As a newly commissioned captain of a veteran Army regiment, MacDonald’s first experience of combat was war at its most hellish — the Battle of the Bulge.
In this eloquent narrative we live each minute at MacDonald’s side, sharing in combat’s misery, terror and drama. His stories are not pretty and his characters are not heroes. In his own words “they are cold, dirty, rough, miserable characters . . . but they win wars.”
Company Commander is a stark but very human view of war. It speaks to younger generations with almost the same immediacy as it did to the Greatest Generation.
How this green commander gains his men’s loyalty in the snows of war-torn Europe is one of the great, true, unforgettable war stories of all time.
