Jerry D. Morelock’s Generals of the Bulge is a fine and useful addition to the enormous body of literature about the biggest battle in American military history.
Generals of the Bulge
Leadership in the U.S. Army's Greatest Battle
Description
The Battle of the Bulge lives in history as the U.S. Army's largest and bloodiest battle of World War II. This innovative study of American military leadership in action during the battle examines the performance of six generals in the days and weeks after the German attack in December 1944.
Reviews
This is great: One of the best books about the U.S. Army in World War II is revised, and made better. You can’t understand the war without reading this.
This is a superb account of selected generals leading American forces during the Battle of the Bulge. Morelock explores the character and careers of these men and explains why some of them failed as leaders during the bitter fighting in the Ardennes while other succeeded. Cracking good history and a fascinating discussion of the extraordinary demands of leadership—when lives are on the line.
