The Battle of the Bulge

long has the story's of the Bulge been told and movies have been made recalling this historic battle, but the telling of this epic battle will take you through eye whiteness accounts and of the individual memoirs that have been recounted and told as remembered. the telling of this story is a riveting account of history if it was a book you could not put it down for it would be a page turner. Great narration, Great story a must listening for any historical buff.

An Important History

Great tribute to the American soldier and our military leadership. It illustrates why this is rightly acknowledged as the Greatest Generation.

Enjoyed the depth.

The many personal stories made this relatable. Also presented Patton as a much more humane person who really cared for his men.

Top notch

This nonfiction account is told in a very entertaining way & the reader is as good as their is.
About the 126 captives executed my understanding is they were from a African American regiment & if so it should have been noted along with the fact that for many years after WW1 the French brought in Black Africans from their African colony & allowed them to Rape German women in occupied west Germany without consequence.
The Battle is a fair account with this one exception however still 5 stars.

Like being there
