Best Book on the subject. Very in depth. Well researched!

This book presents the Battle of the Buldge in great detail. The author did a spectacular job in research, and bringing that information to you. Because of the detail, it is not an easy book to read. But, you will walk away from this book knowing the battle inside and out, from both the German and Allied point of view. The book starts with detailed preparations that Hitler took prior to the battle, then followed a chronology of how the battle unfolded at the division level, on both the German and the Allied sides. You are taken to each town and village, and get to see the circumstances, how each battle was fought, and the outcome. The author also describes what the commanders of both sides were thinking, and how strategies changed as battle continued on from one day to the next. The book concludes with the overall outcome of the battle, the losses, and what (if anything) was accomplished from this. It was a bitter, bloody, and vicious battle, that costed 30,000 men their lives, and it repainted for me a completely different impression of what the Battle of the Buldge was really like. My only complaint about the book: despite the fact that the author did provide detailed maps, I wish their were more maps that I could have used to follow the battles in greater detail.
