inside info on book

Hitler's last offensive proved it be the one of the most threatening challenges to growing Allied supremacy in Europe near the close of WW II. Retreating on all fronts, with British, American and Soviet forces ready to plunge in tot eh Reich, Hitler launched an offensive on the Western Front which caught the Allies by surprise. The plan was to force a wedge through he Allied position in Belgium, return the port of Antwerp to German hands, and turn the tide of war in favor of Germany. John Pimlott a Sandhurtst scholar, tells the story of the battle with his customary clarity. Illustrated by 100 photographs, line drawings and technical illustrations, Battle of the Bulge is a colorful account of the last great battle fought in WWII.
