 | Patton & Battle of the Bulge by Gladys Greenaway, Michael Green
Having trumped Rommel in North Africa, played a reluctant supporting role to Montgomery in Italy, and fought across France after D-Day, General George S. Patton and his Third Army ran up against a desperate German counter-offensive at the Battle of the Bulge in the bitter cold of December 1944. From the panzer attacks in the Belgian forests to the Third Army's determined drive to the Rhine, the authors explain each facet of the critical battle in detail, while explicating the strategies, opinions, and thoughts of the mercurial military genius. The text is supported with a wealth of photography from before, during and after the battle, much of it previously unpublished. An excellent resource for Patton buffs and neophyte military historians alike. AUTHOR: Gladys Greenaway, Michael Green
