A Time for Trumpets: The Untold Story of the Battle of the BulgeOn December 16, 1944, German troops attacked U. S. forces in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg. In the most abysmal failure of battlefield intelligence in the history of the Army, the Americans were taken completely by surprise by Hitler's last desperate attempt to win the war.

On December 16, 1944, German troops attacked U.S. forces in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg. In the most abysmal failure of battlefield intelligence in the history of the Army, the Americans were taken completely by surprise by Hitler's last desperate attempt to win the war. The brutal confrontation that ensued became known as the Battle of the Bulge.

Historian Charles B. MacDonald fought in the Battle of the Bulge as an infantry commander. In A Time for Trumpets, he presents an exhaustively researched, honestly recounted, and movingly authentic account of this crucial moment in history. Mingling firsthand experience with the insights of a distinguished historian, MacDonald brings to life the greatest battle fought by the U.S. Army.

The late Charles B. MacDonald served in four European campaigns and received the Purple Heart and the Silver Star. After the war, he wrote the World War II classic Company Commander. After retiring in 1979 as Deputy Chief Historian, U.S. Army, he devoted the next five years to writing A Time for Trumpets.

"Combines an historian's detachment and precision with the personal feeling of a man who was there." -- New York Times Book Review

I’m happy with it
Size: L50 Hybrid-renewed, Size: L50 Hybrid-renewed
Works great. Edit: After a week that I wrote works great, it had the issue that when it starts cleaning it looses power and shuts off after it leave the dock. When it disengages from charging it’s dead basically so unfortunately I returned it. But I will buy it again I was happy with it.

Charging base makes awful high pitch noise.
Size: L50 Hybrid-renewed
It cleans fine but the charging base emits a terrible high pitch noise. I have to unplug it when nearby. Cats no longer want to sleep in the same room as the vacuum base. Update: A little over a year later and it appears the vacuum's onboard wifi module has passed the rainbow bridge to electric heaven. Can no longer connect the L50 to the app or local wifi. Tried resetting, reverting to older version of app, changing my wifi to 2ghz only. Trying setup in airplane mode. Nothing works.

It worked!
Set name: 10 Jumbo, Set name: 10 Jumbo
I bought this to fit a full size 4" memory foam mattress topper. I gotta say it took 3 of us. 1 to lay on the memory foam and 2 of us to get it shoved in and keep pulling the bag up. But it actually fit! My arm was dying using the hand pump so we used a vacuum. It worked better than the hand pump. Due to what I was storing it did not shrink very flat, but compared to the size of the memory foam it shrunk a lot and will definitely save space! The bags arrived today so I dont know how well it holds up long term but the bag was very sturdy yanking it up around the foam. Didn't tear or stretch. And it actually fit!

Air comes out and STAYS out!
Set name: 10 Medium
I’ve tried so many different versions of these vacuum storage bags over the years, and this company seems to have finally figured it out. They’re absolutely not exaggerating about the 80% space savings. What really impressed me is the pump design — it actually screws onto the bag, so it stays securely attached while removing the air instead of constantly slipping off. It also has a stop valve built in, which prevents air from escaping when you remove the pump to put the cap back on. Such a smart design improvement over other brands I’ve used. I bought the medium 10-pack to store my winter clothes in two 66-quart storage bins, and they fit surprisingly well. That said, part of me wishes I had also picked up a few of the smaller sizes just because they’d probably make stacking and organizing even easier. Overall though, I’m really impressed with the quality and design.

Great bags!
Set name: 10 Jumbo
These space bags are awesome! The company gives you a hand pump but your vacuum works great. They also give you tabs to slide over the ziplock part which works great. I bought the jumbo bags and I can’t believe what I was able to fit in them. More than one summer king size comforter in a bag, and 1 oversized extra large and thick king size winter comforter with shams and sheets in one bag. Other bags had several queen size quilts or comforters and decorative pillows. I highly recommend these bags. The price is great too.
