Publisher Description

An absolutely harrowing first-person account of the 94th Infantry Division’s bold campaign to break through Hitler’s “impregnable” Siegfried line at the end of World War II

Eighteen-year-old William Foley was afraid the war would be over before he got there, but the rifleman was sent straight to the front lines, arriving January 25, 1945–just in time to join the 94th Infantry Division poised at Hitler’s legendary West Wall. By the time Foley finally managed to grab a few hours sleep three nights later, he’d already fought in a bloody attack that left sixty percent of his battalion dead or wounded. That was just the beginning of one of the toughest, bloodiest challenges the 94th would ever face: breaking through the Siegfried Line. Now, in Visions from a Foxhole, Foley recaptures that desperate, nerve-shattering struggle in all its horror and heroism.

Features the author’s artwork of his fellow soldiers and battle scenes, literally sketched from the foxhole

Amazing!

I have read a multitude of WWII books and for me this is my absolute favorite hands down. The first person account has a solid flow and brings life to the character in such a way that I was sucked into it immediately. I was reading a particularly intense portion of the book outside when a car from down the street backfired and I jumped because for that split second I had lost myself so much in the book that to me it was either an artillery shell or a gun shot. I've never had a book do that to me before so for that reason among many others, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the determination and luck a man had to have to survive through such a critical period of the 20th century.
