"The Battle of Hurtgen Forest by Charles Whiting is a well-written, carefully researched, and thoroughly engrossing account by a dedicated professional of the six month struggle, mostly unknown except by obscure reference, during the last months of the Second World War that served little or no purpose. To the reader accustomed to the horrific struggles of war, the Battle of Hurtgen Forest offers a new dimension. "War never comes too late.""
