These authors have written several popular history titles, including The Last Stand of Fox Company related to the Chosin Reservoir battle in Korea. The hill in the title was located in the Hurtgen Forest and its capture in early December 1944 allowed U.S. forces to finally enter Germany. The cost to the Ranger battalion was very high, as the Germans desperately wanted to control this last high ground along their border. The book spends too much time providing background on the Rangers' training and the campaign in Normandy, but it is a good account of a stellar fighting force.
