Bitter Woods: The Battle of the Bulge

By John S. D. Eisenhower

A gripping and comprehensive account of the Battle of the Bulge, one of the most critical and bloody battles of World War II.

In December 1944, the German army launched a surprise attack on the Allied forces in the Ardennes Forest, in what became known as the Battle of the Bulge. The battle was a desperate gamble by Hitler to turn the tide of the war in his favor, and it nearly succeeded. The Allies were caught off guard, and the Germans quickly overran large swaths of territory. But the Allies rallied, and after a fierce and bloody struggle, they eventually defeated the German army.

Bitter Woods is a magisterial account of the Battle of the Bulge, based on extensive research and interviews with hundreds of participants. John S. D. Eisenhower, the son of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who commanded the Allied forces in Europe, provides a detailed and nuanced account of the battle, from the German planning and preparations to the Allied response and eventual victory.

Eisenhower's narrative is both gripping and informative, and he brings the battle to life with vivid descriptions of the fighting and the experiences of the soldiers on both sides. He also provides a clear and concise analysis of the strategic and tactical decisions that were made by both sides, and he shows how the battle was a turning point in the war.

Bitter Woods is a must-read for anyone interested in World War II or military history. It is a powerful and moving account of one of the most important battles in history, and it is a testament to the courage and sacrifice of the men who fought in it.
