"Band of Brothers" meets "Robert Sheffey" A Battle More Desperate is a work of Christian historical fiction set during the Battle of the Bulge, December 1944, the greatest and bloodiest pitched battle ever fought by the U.S. Army. The narrative unfolds against this epic backdrop, giving a clear presentation of the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. The story revolves around on small squad of parachute infantry and a new replacement, Private Joe Anderson. Joe is a former ministerial student, who volunteered for the paratroopers and becomes part of the 101st Airborne Division just before it heads into the siege of Bastogne in December 1944. Because he's a dedicated Christian, he stands out as something odd, and he's nicknamed "Holy Joe" by members of his squad. Their reactions to Joe and his lasting influence in their lives form the basis of the story. Through the snow and suffering of the battle, Joe seeks to win the "more desperate battle" the spiritual one, proving himself in and out of combat and gaining the friendship and trust of his other squad members and stop the determined onslaught of enemy forces the troopers encounter.
