5.0 out of 5 starsHistory through the eyes of the participants
By Jeffrey B. Barta on October 20, 2011
Format: Hardcover
Having lived in Europe and toured the Ardennes extensively, twice with Martin King as a guide, I can tell you that this book and DVD make a perfect cap to my travels. Reading various histories (Ambrose, Macdonald, etc...) of the battle provided the overall context. Touring the battlefields with Martin provided the sights and smells. Actually reading and hearing the words (of both Americans and Germans-a first for me) of the participants tied everything together in a living history. The stories told by the vets, especially Mr. John Schaffner, whom I recently was extremely honored to meet in person, are heartfelt and unvarnished. Martin and Michael compiled a great book- but it is the vets themselves that are the Voices. Well DONE!

3.0 out of 5 starsInteresting but flawed
By Björn Hellqvist on January 9, 2012
Format: Hardcover
Writing books with a fresh perspective on battles done to death is a tall order. "Voices of the Bulge" is an oral history of the December 1944 Ardennes Offensive ("Battle of the Bulge"), where the authors have compiled interviews with veterans and interwoven them with an account on the battle. The book is the result of twelve years of research and interviews, and the authors have tracked down scores of veterans of the battle. Several of them have since passed away, further stressing the importance of documenting their stories. While I applaud all attempts to ensure that the experiences of the men and women who were there aren't forgotten, I'm not entirely impressed with the end product.

To be fair, the book is a readable and straightforward account of the Battle of the Bulge, with the emphasis on the critical first ten days. There are ample accounts by veterans, ranging from a paragraph to several of pages in length, with the text returning several times to the veterans as the narrative progresses. An interesting aspect of the book are the accounts by the American soldiers who were taken prisoner of war and transferred to Germany. Scant food, minimal comfort, and being bombed by their own side were some of the hardships they had to endure. I for one would've liked to read more about it. Another aspect that gets coverage is the work by Belgian volunteer nurses in Bastogne. Renée Lemaire, made known to a bigger audience through the HBO mini-series "Band of Brothers", is mentioned, and the authors managed to track down her colleague, Augusta Chiwy. The brave Congo-born nurse hasn't got the recognition she is due (she was briefly portrayed in the series by a much darker actor), but the authors attempt to set things right.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsFirst person accounts
By Gregory Hope VINE VOICE on March 3, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I would like to have given this book a better rating. I think the kind of work that the authors did in gathering accounts from living veterans of the battle is very worthwhile. From a readers point of view I found the book to be disjointed and somewhat confusing at times. The authors do make an effort to provide context but unless the reader already has a good grasp on the events of the battle they may find the context lacking. There also seemed to be some repetition, perhaps simply a decision to quote the contributing veterans without editing. The accompanying DVD is filmed interviews of some of the key veterans who contributed.

2.0 out of 5 starsToo many mistakes
By tankterror on June 14, 2013
Format: Hardcover
It pains me to write this review since I know how much work authors Michael Collins and Martin King went through to put out this book. I commend them for getting actual face time with these great veterans of World War II and hearing there "foxhole" point of view of the Battle of the Bulge. I never tire of reading a foot soldiers actual account.

There are some moments were the veteran who is being quoted in the text, gets some fact wrong like the correct name of the town or swapping millimeters for calibers when naming a weapon. These things are to be expected when the memories are 50 or 60 years old and the soldier has been back to civilian life most of that time. This is totally excusable and the reader should look at the emotion of the veterans experience and not hold him to the exact facts of the situation. He was most likely in a life or death situation at the time. But it would be nice to see some editor's note correcting the facts. Many of these mistakes are missed by the editor.

Unfortunately this book is full of mistakes in the captions under the photos too. Inexcusable mistakes like naming the wrong gun or tank in the photo. Even the slightest bit of fact checking online or in a library would show the error. On page 110 there is a "rare photograph" that claims to be of a Jagdtiger and a King Tiger with a Heschel turret. First off, this is a Jagdpanther with a King Tiger with a PORSCHE turret and this is not even a photo. It's a screenshot FROM A COMPUTER GAME... how insulting. Somehow the editor missed all of the mistakes and let this book through. Once several mistakes like these are discovered in a history book, then it throws the whole book into question.

I couldn't even finish the last few chapters, sorry guys.

4.0 out of 5 starsAdolf Hitler was getting ready for his last gasp before the end.
By M. Lignor on August 23, 2011
Format: Hardcover
It was December of the year 1944 and the horrific World War was going the way of the Allies and creeping toward it's close. The Invasion on the Normandy Beaches had taken place in June and, in August, Paris was liberated and there were some who thought they might be heading home for Christmas. But, according to many historians, you couldn't count Adolf Hitler out. There was always something in the back of his mind to throw everyone off. In the past year he had been the target not only of the Allies but of his own General Staff. Some of his Generals planned to assassinate Hitler and take over the SS and start a new government in Germany and, of course, end the war. All of their plans fell apart and Hitler was getting ready for his last gasp before the end.

Hitler and his minions were planning a very powerful operation code-named "Wacht am Rhein" (Watch on the Rhine). This battle was better known as the Battle of the Bulge, launched in the early morning hours of December 16, 1944. This was to be the battle that would turn the war around and give it back to Germany. This terrible land battle would come to be known as the greatest land battle of World War II. Almost one million soldiers would eventually take part in the fighting and this book is a little different as it tells the story of this crucial battle in the words of soldiers who were there. The authors held interviews with American Soldiers, both officers and enlisted men. These men faced the massive German attacks that Hitler just knew would turn the tide of battle towards the Germans. These extremely brave soldiers stopped the attack with their courage but, not before many of them had been killed. Also included are stories from German veterans of the battles, including SS soldiers, who were interviewed by the authors.Read more ›
