Anthony Tucker-Jones’s study of these battles is timely and important.
What a brilliant book this is… a terrific narrative of Hitler’s Ardennes offensive of December 1944 – superb storytelling that achieves a skilful balance between drama and detail.
Tucker-Jones has delivered another gem. Hitler’s Winter takes the reader on a breath-taking ride from the “other side of the hill” and is a must-read compendium to the vast corpus of Allied accounts of the Battle of the Bulge. Simply stunning.
Anthony Tucker-Jones offers a fresh insight into the Battle of the Bulge that few historians have matched. Although several books have been written about the Ardennes from the German perspective, very few authors have captured the spirit of the conflict through the eyes of the combatants themselves.
An excellent themed analysis of why the objectives set by Hitler could never be achieved.
For those who want to fully understand the Battle of the Bulge, then this is a 'must read'.
Anthony Tucker-Jones started his career writing for Jane’s Defence Weekly and Jane’s Intelligence Review. He has written a number of books on aspects of World War II and regularly appears on Sky News, ITV, Channel Four, BBC Television, BBC Radio and the History Channel.
