This new addition to the series, from a highly respected author in his field, provides an ideal introduction to the critical Battle of the Bulge for new readers to this part of military history and an example supportive volume for professionals and established enthusiasts. - Highly Recommended There are many conflicting views as to what the Battle of the Bulge really meant and whether or not it was a potentially viable counter attack by the Germans. However, it failed and the potential for success must always have been low. By moving elite troops and the best available equipment forward, attacking in conditions that denied Allied air power, and directing efforts at a US 1st Army group of largely untried soldiers, it did offer the best possible conditions for the Germans but they were still thrown back. The US troops may have lacked experience but not courage and they fought on against the best Germany could throw at them. British troops raced to shore up their US comrades and the bad weather broke to allow Allied ground attack aircraft to resume their decimation of any visible German assets. The author has provided concise and balanced text in support of a first class selection of images, many rare and not produced before in a book available to the public. Another popular addition to a fine series.
