Description
Book SynopsisReexamines the decisions made by Dwight D. Eisenhower and his staff in the crucial months leading up to the Battle of the Bulge. This book demonstrates that not only did Eisenhower and his staff at SHAEF have a good campaign strategy that was refined to reflect current developments but that they also had a chance of destroying the Germans.
Trade ReviewAdams' great achievement is including the necessary level of detail to support analysis of a broad spectrum of historical events without boring the reader. Scholars have already examined many of the topics Adams addresses, but they have seldom drawn them together in a coherent evaluation of operational challenges as Adams has.
