A critical examination of the leadership successes and failures of senior American commanders during the largest battle fought by the U.S. Army in World War II, the December 1944-January 1945 Battle of the Bulge.
The Battle of the Bulge lives in history as the U.S. Army's largest and bloodiest battle of World War II. This innovative study of American military leadership in action during the battle examines the performance of six generals in the days and weeks after the German attack in December 1944.
* Generals covered include Dwight Eisenhower and Omar Bradley, among others
* Five levels of command are studied: supreme coalition, army group, army, corps, and division/armored combat command
* A unique and important history that will appeal to buffs, scholars, and soldiers
