Book 22 of the Time-Life World War II series. In what quickly came to be called the Battle of the Bulge, the 291st Engineer Combat Battalion found itself directly in the path of the German spearhead. Here, in gritty detail, is the story of how ""those damned Engineers"" ruined Hitler's winter offensive, and how the 291st, with a reputation almost as big as its accomplishments, went on to build an 1100-foot pontoon bridge across the Rhine at Remagen in 32 hours-in the face of fierce opposition and near-impossible odds.
