About the Book
‘This is undoubtedly the greatest American battle of the war and will, I believe, be regarded as an ever-famous American victory.’ — Winston Churchill
But could it be that such a heroic sacrifice by young American troops need not have been made?
Were the Americans caught unawares during the last great German offensive, or was this a strategic move by Allied high command?
And in the years since the end of the war, why have the files relating to the Battle of the Bulge been secreted away? Was somebody trying to cover something up — and if so, why?
In this gripping and meticulously researched reappraisal, Charles Whiting uncovers long-neglected documents, survivor testimony and firsthand accounts to reconstruct the reality of one of the war’s most dramatic and controversial battles.
Challenging the official narrative and confronting troubling questions of leadership, sacrifice and secrecy, this bold re-examination will change how readers understand one of the Second World War’s most famous campaigns.
