The Bulge: A Novel of Tank Warfare

Shattered in the slaughterhouse of Normandy, the Wehrmacht is on the run, saved only by its ability to flee faster than the Allies can advance. Hamstrung by supply problems, the Allies probe and push and prepare for winter. But Hitler has in mind one last gamble to end the war on Germany’s Western the Ardennes counteroffensive, the last blitzkrieg. Worn out by years of difficult campaigning, the veteran tankers manning a Sherman Easy Eight depart the siege of Aachen for rest, refit, and training. As panzers burst through the American lines in the Ardennes Forest, these men will enter a desperate fight against both the German Army and the brutal winter—a fight in which victory is defined as mere survival. The Battle of the Bulge.
