Sobre este item
Free Press, 2006. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket. First printing, near fine hardcover shows a bump at top corner of rear cover and hint of toning to pages, in near fine dust jacket (price at flap) that shows just a hint of shelf wear. 201 pages with index and set of black & whites. Still a pleasing copy of this noted work that "..tells the remarkable story of the Battle of the Bulge as it has never been told before, from frozen foxholes to barn shelters to boxcars packed with wretched prisoners of war.
Sinopse
It was truly a white Christmas in the Ardennes Forest in 1944, but that was cold comfort to the Allied soldiers trying to stop the Nazis from retaking Belgium in one of the most decisive battles of World War II. While a German loudspeaker taunted, ?How would you like to die for Christmas?? the Allied forces dug in, despite freezing conditions. They needed a miracle. In a medieval chapel, General Patton, who needed clear skies to allow airborne reinforcements to reach his trapped men, uttered what would become a famous prayer: ?Sir, whose side are you on?? His soldiers wouldn?t be home for Christmas, but as the skies cleared, they went on to win a battle? and a war.
