Description:
Great Britian: Combined Publishing, 2001. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 9 1/2 h x 6 1/2w. A real nice clean unmarked 202 page first edition hardcover with very nice dust jacket. Has 6 pages of black & white photos. The Allied advance on Germany's West Wall received its biggest setback from the German counter-offensive of December 16, 1944. The general outline of the Battle of the Bulge, or "Ardennes Offensive" as it is more commonly known in Europe, is well-known and has become a great military legend. However, as veteran World War II author Charles Whiting reveals here, the magnitude of the German surprise has been downplayed in the West and the extent of German deception and sabotage operations minimized..
