The Bulge was, for America, the bloodiest battle of the war. Here, in this compelling narrative, that shocking story is retold with intensity and verve by a first-rate writer and historian. Astor uses personal accounts to chart every phase of the battle from the very first moment of the German counterattack right through the desperate and ultimately successful Allied effort to fend it off. Drawing on eyewitness accounts, private diaries and reports, Astor recreates the battle fought in the snowy hills of Belgium and reveals the conflict as an astonishing battle for survival against atrocious conditions and a determined enemy.

Gerald Astor is the critically acclaimed military historian and author of Wings of Gold, Terrible Terry Allen, The Mighty Eighth, A Blood-Dimmed Tide, The Right to Fight, The Greatest War, and The Bloody Forest, among other titles. He lives near New York City.
