The Reich's Last Gamble: The Ardennes Offensive, December 1944

"...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....Forty's contribution should easily stand the test of time. For all collections."--Library Journal.
