Synopsis
The German defeat in the Ardennes that took place in just four weeks over December 1944 and January 1945 signalled the beginning of the end of German resistance on the Western Front. In this work, military historian George Forty traces the whole story, drawing extensively on US sources to record how the GIs, many of them young and untested, faced up to the unexpected challenge. The complex course of the battle is related, and the author offers much background information on the size, organization and equipment of the opposing forces.

The Battle of the Bulge, as the surprise German counter-offensive in the Ardennes came to be known, had been intended to divide the Allied forces, halt their drive from Normandy to the Rhine, perhaps even force one or the other of the Allies to negotiate a peace agreement. Hitler's plans had started formidably well, helped by the bad weather which kept Allied aircraft on the ground. But the US Army recovered its nerve, the German forces were contained, and the gamble failed. German losses were considerable, their military morale broken. It was the beginning of the end of German resistance on the Western Front." This is the whole story. ". . . a new, concise and well-ordered history of the most important battle fought by the US Army on the Western Front in the Second World War.". N° de réf. du vendeur M001399
