Description
Seven Roads to Hell is the third volume in Donald R. Burgett's memoir series, detailing his experiences as a Screaming Eagle in the 101st Airborne Division. In November 1944, the division was stationed in Bastogne, a small Belgian town where seven roads converged, and found themselves at the forefront of a desperate battle against the Nazi forces. The author recounts the events leading up to the Battle of the Bulge, where the Allies were pushed back by a massive German counterattack. Despite being vastly outnumbered and outgunned, the paratroopers held out for eleven days, buying time for the Allies to regroup and launch a counterattack. Burgett's memoir is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the Screaming Eagles and their epic defense of Bastogne. This book is the third in Burgett's series, following Currahee! and Road to Arnhem and Beyond the Rhine.
