-Titulo Original : Alamo In The Ardennes The Untold Story Of The American Soldiers Who Made The Defense Of Bastogne Possi Ble
-Fabricante :
Dutton Caliber
-Descripcion Original:
“A comprehensive and vivid account of the heroic defense of Bastogne... McManus has taken a great old story and made it new again.”-Rick Atkinson, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author of An Army at DawnDuring the Battle of the Bulge, the 101st Airborne made their legendary stand at Bastogne. But their heroics never could have happened if not for the unsung efforts of others. This is the powerful yet little-known story of the bloody delaying action fought by the 28th Infantry Division, elements of the 9th and 10th Armored Divisions, and other, smaller units. Outnumbered and outgunned, they made the Germans pay for every icy inch of ground they gained. It was their gallant efforts that allowed the 101st Airborne to reach and fully occupy Bastogne and prepare for the ferocious attack to come. Featuring numerous helpful maps and a complete list of the soldiers, local civilians, and German commanders whose actions it recounts, Alamo in the Ardennes provides a compelling, day-by-day account of this pivotal moment in Americas greatest war. Review “A comprehensive and vivid account of the heroic defense of Bastogne, the linchpin in the Battle of the Bulge. With a scholar’s precision and a writer’s keen eye for the telling detail, John C. McManus has taken a great old story and made it new again.”-Rick Atkinson, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author of An Army at Dawn “McManuss absorbing and forthright narrative will hopefully dispel several myths, namely that Bastogne was the decisive engagement of the Battle of the Bulge, and give long-overdue credit to the many brave Americans, some of them still alive today, who made victory possible in Americas greatest ever battle. You cant ask for more. Bravo!”-Alex Kershaw, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Longest Winter and Avenue of Spies “I have read hundreds of books about men in battle but seldom have I seen one that comes close to the intensity that John McManus achieves in Alamo in the Ardennes. To an unparalleled degree, his amazing research has enabled him to get inside the minds and hearts of dozens of soldiers, from generals to privates. This is a book that will become one of the classics of the literature of World War II combat.”-Thomas Fleming, Author of The New Dealers War “This definitive and eminently readable history is destined to be a classic among Bulge histories.”-Patrick K. ODonnell, Author of Washington’s Immortals From the Inside Flap In December 1944, when the Germans launched their last-ditch offensive now known as theBattle of the Bulge, they badly needed to capture the Belgian city of Bastogne as a communicationscenter, supply depot, and springboard for their drive to Antwerp. The citys defense by the 101st Airborne is often cited as the battles most desperate and dramatic episode, but these heroics never could have happened if notfor the unsung efforts of a ragtag, batteredcollection of American soldiers who absorbed the brunt of the German offensive first along the Ardennes frontier east of Bastogne. Alamo in the Ardennes tells the powerful, poignant, yet little-known story of the bloody delaying action fought by the 28th InfantryDivision, elements of the 9th and 10th Armored Divisions, and other, smaller units. Outnumbered at times by as much as ten to one, outgunned by Hitlers dreaded panzers, and with no hope of reinforcement, they bore the full fury of the Nazi onslaught for five days, making the Germans pay for every icy inch of ground they gained. Author John McManus reveals that the original German battle plan allowed only two days for the capture of Bastogne. Had the Germans achieved their objective on time, Hitler would have gained a vital foothold in his quest to split the Allied armies in two. This stirring narrative follows three distinct groups of American soldiers who held up the Germans during those five brutal days. From December 16 through December 18, the 28th Infantry Division fought ferociousl
