The Battle for Bastogne in 156 Text & Photo Pages
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
As with all of the books in the Battleground Europe series, BASTOGNE is a combination of historical overview, selective detailed reference and compendium of italicized first-hand accounts. This book is not meant to be an in depth study of the Ardennes Campaign around Bastogne, but a concentrated dose of the battle and helpful roadside touring information. There are some "Then and Now" type comparisons, however on the whole the book is very similar to the US Army War College series (Which, by the way, was not published the the US Army War College) guides to Civil War sites. Currently this is the second book book in the Battle of the Bulge segment of the series. The first book, St. Vith, is in the same format. As a supplemental reference to the battles around Bastogne, this book is highly recommended. If you are planning a visit to Bastogne, I recommend that this reference be packed along with your travel brochures, Micheln guides and roadmaps.
