Title: Title Misleading
Product review: Not as pleased with it as I thought I would be. I think the author tries to cover too much - he did a credible job with the beating the 106th and other units took the first few days, and I think he should have stuck with that and expanded it. He does very little on the countermoves and attacks, and what he did was done sketchily, I thought. He should have titled the book - The Bulge: The First Three Days - or something to that effect. He covers the captivity of those captured well, too, but the other parts - counter attacks - are glossed over - for example: 'The Second Armored Division, joined by the 3rd Royal tank Regiment, smashed a significant piece of the 2nd SS Panzer Division toward the western end of the Bulge.' That's all? Would have liked more on the I & R platoon's stand those first days as well. And then he includeds a section on Patton's attempt to free is son-in-law. Out of place. Worth the read, but set your expectations lower.
