You should read “Company Commander” by MacDonald too. It is more of his own first hand account and relates directly back to “A Time for Trumpets”.

Read it, thank you. Another good source for accounts of combat in the ETO are books by Charles Whiting. The name of the book escapes me but it dealt with the Huertgen Forest battles. In my opinion, next to Montgomerys personal disaster “Operation “Market-Garden’’ the Huertgen was one of the most ill-concieved battles the US Army ever undertook. I don't see how it was that the entire Chiefs of Staff of the US Army weren't bought up on charges. Between the Huertgen Forest debacle and The Bulge Eisenhower got almost as many Americans killed as the Germans did.
