"On December, 16, 1944, Hitler launched his last gamble in the snow-covered forests and gorges of the Ardennes. He believed he could split the Allies by driving all the way to Antwerp, then force the Canadians and the British out of the war. Although his generals were doubtful of success, younger officers and NCOs were desperate to believe that their homes and families could be saved from the vengeful Red Army approaching from the east. Many were exultant at the prospect of striking back. The Ardennes offensive, with more than a million men involved, became the greatest battle of the war in western Europe."--Book jacket

Subject: Good history
Subject: Good history
Excellent reading on a popular subject. Research and detail were great. Enjoyed all the follow-up after the battle coverage. Learned a whole lot of fact that other writers ignored or deliberately ignored. Highly recommended for any person wanting a more complete and in depth understanding of the entire situation in this event. Not just military history but people and politics.
