About This Item
London: Cassell & Company. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. 0304358029 . A near-fine volume in a near fine DJ, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. B&W photos and maps ; 9.2 X 6.5 X 1.6 inches; 352 pages; "In the years since that fateful December of 1944, at least two dozen books have appeared, devoted solely to telling this story. 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. " .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
