In
the fall of 1944, Hitler realized that the defeat of Germany was
imminent. But instead of seeking peace, he launched a massive,
last-ditch offensive against the Allied forces. The subsequent fight,
know as the Battle of the Bulge, involved more than a million soldiers
and some of the war's fiercest fighting. John S. D. Eisenhower, son of
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, presents a comprehensive portrait of what
happened that December, and how the Allies triumphed. In his
introduction to this reprinted volume, Stephen E. Ambrose says that "The
Bitter Woods will be read so long as the Republic lasts." That's high
praise from America's leading historian of the Second World War, and
this book is, in truth, one of the better World War II titles available.
