5.0 out of 5 stars
this book is highly informative and interesting
Adolph Hitler's last desperate gamble, i.e the Ardennes Offensive, is an interesting topic to read about. It shows the Fuhrer's undying hope that he will triumph. Although the Allies suffered more than 12,000 dead and machinery destroyed, they triumphed over the Germans after one of the most desperate and mighty German offensives of the last portion of the war.

No new insight that compliments other sources
I have read many books on this battle. One of them was a very good book called 'Battle of the Bulge' by Danny S. Parker.

This review is from: Hitler's Ardennes Offensive (Hardcover)
I have read many books on this battle. One of them was a very good book called 'Battle of the Bulge' by Danny S. Parker. In addition to a high reguard for Parker, the Amazon's professional review and reader's review were both excellent. So, for me, this was a 'must buy'. I was disappointed. The book has six chapters. Each chapter is an interview experience with an important German officer with real responsibility in the battle. Some of these chapters are hardly comprehensible. One, General Kramer, is poorly translated. There is personal puffery, poor memories, and precious little real insight into the battle. Only General Brandenberger's narrative is concise and informative. The bottom line, if I had gone to Borders or another of the big book stores and had reviewed the book before buying, I would have passed.
