The epic story of how the Second World War was won.On 4 January
1945, General 'Blood and Guts' Patton confided gloomily to his
diary, 'We can still lose the war.' The Nazis were attacking in
Eastern France, Luxembourg and Belgium. General Eisenhower's allied
armies had lost over 300,000 men in battle (with a similar number
of non-battle casualties) and they were still in the same positions
they had first captured three months before. Would the German will
to resist never be broken? Veteran military historian Charles
Whiting assembled individual stories from the frontline as the war
entered its last bloody, but ultimately victorious phase. From
material such as diaries, interviews and battalion journals he
vividly builds up a picture of the soldiers and combatants. As the
greatest conflict of them all came to its epic crescendo, those on
the ground knew that paths that lead to glory could also lead to
death... Perfect for fans of Anthony Beevor, Richard Overy and
Damien Lewis.
