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.

loved this book, good personal account of ww2 battle of the bulge through to the end of the war. would be nice to hear a little pre war and post war of this commander, but overall a very good book also nice to follow the footsteps of 2nd Indian heads in ardeenes instead of 101st A/B

very good book about a personal experience

It’s hard not to be confused at the start of Company Commander. We are pitched into a world we have no comprehension of, where ordinary men take extraordinary risks. Where sleep and soap become distant memories. Field by field they cross Europe in pursuit of liberation. Shrapnel and tracer bullets feel almost normal as they fly through the sky. How these men could think so clearly under such pressure, how they could constantly mitigate risk, in the face of mortal danger is a lesson for us today. It’s not the best written or the best read BUT a raw, real history of the life on an infantry man and worth every minute of your time.

Vivid, dirty, honest, dirty and dangerous.

Really enjoyed the book, great narration, drew me in and wasn’t full of the usual technical information, just a well rounded personal perspective of one man’s war, I recommend

Great book

This is a fantastic first hand account of life in the front line during the final 12 months of the war.

I found myself really attached to Captain Charles B. Macdonald & his men in what was a beautifully written contemporary account.

Excellent narration really brought the characters to life.

Moving & insightful
