Bastogne: Ardennes 1944
Bastogne will live forever in the annals of American military history. From the resounding `Nuts`, in response to the German demand for surrender, to the breaking of the siege by Patton`s Third Army – brilliantly disengaged from its positions on the Saar, wheeled 90 degrees and marched northwards faster than any thought possible – the defense of Bastogne and victory in the Ardennes was one of the greatest feats of American arms in the European Theatre. This title in the Past & Present series looks at the encirclement, siege, and relief with then and now photographs; specially commissioned aerial photos, and a wealth of detail.
