Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. New tightly bound hardcover in new dust jacket. 8vo. (6 x 1 x 9 inches) Clean text free of marks or underlining. B&W photos and illustrations. Includes maps, glossary, appendices [2], notes, bibliography and an index. 320 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. In the early afternoon of September 12, 1944, an American patrol entered Nazi Germany southwest of the ancient city of Aachen. Three months after the landing at Normandy, the Allies were finally within reach of the enemy on his home turf. Among the troops there was even talk of getting home for Christmas. What followed, though, was one of the most grueling campaigns of the war?the nearly six-month-long battle fully recounted for the first time in this powerful work. Combining stirring narrative and meticulous historical detail, The Longest Battle provides a complete and compelling account of what happened after the first breach of the Third Reich by Allied ground combat forces: of the troops terrible struggle across the Siegfried Line, Hitlers vaunted West Wall, through the benighted Hurtgen Forest, and across the Roer. The strategic decisions and setbacks, the incremental advances, and catastrophic losses that marked this still-controversial but critically important battle unfold in all their historical, military, and human significance in Harry Yeide's book? Finally filling a gap in our understanding of World War II. N� de r�f. du vendeur 201220
