“The author disentangles the various strands in this awesome confrontation with skill and he also balances the wider view with an attention to the detail that brings it all back to life.” Contemporary Review
"Delaforce is a fine researcher and presents the facts with a clarity most historians would do well to copy."Scottish Legion News
After their success in Normandy in the summer of 1944 the Allies thought that the war would be 'over by Christmas'. But in the autumn Adolf Hitler decided to take an incredible gamble. If it had succeeded, he would have seized the crucial supply port of Antwerp, and divided and cut off half the Allied armies in Belgium and Holland. The final outcome could have been their surrender or at best a second 'Dunkirk'. Patrick Delaforce tells the story of the furious fighting and heavy losses and how close Hitler came to being successful. Featuring individual stories from the American, British and German combatants in the Ardennes battle, and illustrated with photographs and drawings (many from American war artists) and battle plans, this book provides a gripping account of one of the most important battles of the Second World War.
A decorated veteran,Patrick Delaforce has written many books on Second World War military history, including Smashing the Atlantic Wall: The Destruction of Hitler's Coastal Fortresses (2005), and Churchill's Secret Weapons: The Story of Hobarts' Funnies (2006).
