The German Ardennes offensive, launched on 16 December 1944, is well known, as is the heroic defence of encircled Bastogne. However, beyond Patton's 3rd US Army's relief of Bastogne, the events leading to the complete reconquest of the ground lost in December 1944 are never addressed by historians.
This book fills that gap and describes with precision the reconquest of the Ardennes through the combined efforts of the Americans and the British, supported by strong air power.
