A Time for Trumpets: The Untold Story of the Battle of the BulgeOn December 16, 1944, German troops attacked U. S. forces in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg. In the most abysmal failure of battlefield intelligence in the history of the Army, the Americans were taken completely by surprise by Hitler's last desperate attempt to win the war.

On December 16, 1944, German troops attacked U.S. forces in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg. In the most abysmal failure of battlefield intelligence in the history of the Army, the Americans were taken completely by surprise by Hitler's last desperate attempt to win the war. The brutal confrontation that ensued became known as the Battle of the Bulge.

Historian Charles B. MacDonald fought in the Battle of the Bulge as an infantry commander. In A Time for Trumpets, he presents an exhaustively researched, honestly recounted, and movingly authentic account of this crucial moment in history. Mingling firsthand experience with the insights of a distinguished historian, MacDonald brings to life the greatest battle fought by the U.S. Army.

The late Charles B. MacDonald served in four European campaigns and received the Purple Heart and the Silver Star. After the war, he wrote the World War II classic Company Commander. After retiring in 1979 as Deputy Chief Historian, U.S. Army, he devoted the next five years to writing A Time for Trumpets.

"Combines an historian's detachment and precision with the personal feeling of a man who was there." -- New York Times Book Review

Older picture books have better stories and hand drawn illustrations
Format: Paperback
Fun to read aloud, old-school, easy read by Diane DeGroat about classroom friendships, honesty, kindness, and fixing mistakes. K-2nd grade will enjoy. So many of today’s children’s books lack depth, depend on dumb fart/poop jokes, are tied to tv shows/movies, or overfocus on moralizing and turning kids into little adults. Read for fun with your kids as often as you can! Check out children’s authors/illustrators from the 80’s and 90’s!

Entertaining and teaching book
Format: Paperback
I got this for Valentine’s Day for my 7 year-old grandson. I thought he’d enjoy the book as the title is funny, not “mushy.” He enjoyed reading the book to me, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a lesson on being kind.
