The Bitter Woods
The Bitter Woods

Intimate look at WWII's pivotal Ardennes battle.

If you're a history buff with a penchant for military strategy and personal narratives, "The Bitter Woods" offers a deep dive into one of WWII's most intense battles. Written by the son of Dwight D. Eisenhower, you'll get an insider's perspective on the leadership and tactics that shaped this crucial victory. Plus, the firsthand connections to the top brass add a layer of authenticity that's hard to find elsewhere.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

It was the greatest single battle the U.S. Army ever fought. More than a million GIs were involved and nearly 80,000 became casualties. The Allied generals had to rally beaten, dispirited troops in the face of an attack they had never dreamed possible. A study in command, from generals to squad leaders, The Bitter Woods follows von Runstedt, Dietrich, and of course Hitler, as closely as the Americans. As son of the supreme commander Dwight D. Eisenhower, a West Point graduate, a retired Army brigadier general, and a military historian, John Eisenhower is uniquely qualified to tell how the Allied generals (nearly all of whom he knew personally) met Hitler's challenge; how the two armies fought fiercely in the Ardennes from December 1944 to January 1945; and how the Allied victory broke the back of Nazi aggression.
