Band of Strangers - A WW2 Memoir of the Fighting in Normandy and "The Bulge"

By James K. Cullen

This book was written by my friend Jim Cullen.  Jim was a Staff Sergeant and squad leader in E Company, 36th Armored Infantry Regiment, 3rd Armored Division.  He joined the unit as a replacement just before the Battle of Mortain.

He recounts the terrors of the bocage, and the numbing, relentless cold and confusion of the Battle of the Bulge and everything in between.

There are other books recounting the experiences of other infantrymen, but to my knowledge, this is the only autobiography written by an armored infantryman or "Blitz Dough" as they called themselves.

I really enjoyed this book, but admit to certain prejudices since the author is a friend, and I was honored to be asked to write the foreword.

This is a self-published book that is available from Amazon in the $20.00-$25.00 range.

I hope you like it!
