11 Days in December by Stanley Weintraub

11 Days in December by Stanley Weintraub

11 Days in December tells the dramatic story of one of the grimmest points of World War I and its Christmas Eve turn toward victory. In December 1944, the Allied forces thought their campaign for securing Europe was in its final stages. But Germany had one last great surprise attack still planned, leading to some of the most intense fighting in World War I: the Battle of the Bulge. After ten days of horrific weather conditions and warfare, General Patton famously asked God, Sir, whose side are you on? For the next four days, as the skies cleared, the Allies could fly again, the Nazis were contained, and the outcome of the war was ensured. Renowned historian and author Stanley Weintraub tells the remarkable story of the Battle of the Bulge as it has never been told before, from frozen foxholes to barn shelters to boxcars packed with wretched prisoners of war. He weaves together the stories of ordinary soldiers and their generals to recreate this dramatic, crucial narrative of a miraculous shift of luck in the midst of the most significant war of the modern era.
