Battle: The Story of the Bulge

Gleaned from 15 years of perspective, meticulous research, countless interviews, extensive analysis, and the artistic prowess of John Toland, the grand battle unfolds across an expansive canvas. Toland's writing carries the weight of someone who bore witness to the events, delving into the very essence of those moments. He captures the acrid taste of defeat experienced by those who surrendered, penning his words as though he had the unique ability to perceive through the eyes and ears of soldiers and generals stationed on the opposing front lines. In the realm of comprehending the lives of both commanders and foot soldiers, and gaining insight into the divergent facets of their wartime experiences, there is perhaps no finer choice than this book. — Excerpted from the Chicago Sunday Tribune
