Featuring maps and archive photography, this is a detailed look into the 'Battle of the Bulge', the final major German offensive in the West.
Three armies attacked through the Ardennes, the weakest point in the American lines - and almost broke through. This book describes the planning of the attack and the course of events, including the defence of Bastogne and the heroic delaying actions fought by GIs supposed to be in a 'quiet' sector of the front. In spite of serious American disadvantages Hitler's offensive was stopped.
James Arnold explains exactly how this was achieved, and how Germany's last hopes of victory were finally put to rest.
James R Arnold is an established author who has contributed to numerous military publications. James spent his formative years in Europe and used the opportunity to study the sites of historic battlefields.
