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.".…

Yet it can be told again and told well. Forty, retired director and curator of the Tank Museum in Bovington, Dorset, and author of numerous books on tank warfare in World War II, applies his well-honed narrative skills to a reexamination of this well-known battle. With an attention to detail that informs but does not bore, Forty reveals his remarkable knowledge of the intricacies of German and U.S. armored and infantry tactics in the Ardennes. Greatly assisting the reader is an abundance of battle maps. Appendixes provide detailed information about the military units for all combatants, as well as thumbnail biographies of the major players. ".…
