The Bitter Woods: The Battle of the Bulge
In the fall of 1944, Hitler realized that the defeat of Germany was imminent. But instead of  seeking peace, he launched a massive, last-ditch offensive against the Allied forces. The subsequent fight,  know as the Battle of the Bulge, involved more than a million soldiers and some of the war's fiercest  fighting. John S. D. Eisenhower, son of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, presents a comprehensive portrait  of what happened that December, and how the Allies triumphed. In his introduction to this reprinted  volume,Stephen E. Ambrosesays that "The Bitter Woodswill be read so long as the Republic lasts." That's high  praise from America's leading historian of the Second World War, and this book is, in truth, one of the  better World War II titles available.
