Nuts!: the Battle of the Bulge
by Donald M. Goldstein, Katherine V. Dillon, and J. Michael Wenger
Published 1 November 1994
The Battle of the Bulge - when Hitler sent his troops crashing through the Ardennes to split the Allies - is WWII's best-known engagement on the Western Front. This book is an illustrated history of that great battle. It is published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the battle that thwarted Hitler's final gamble. Many of the hundreds of photographs are drawn from German archives. Donald M. Goldstein and Katherine V. Dillon are the co-authors of "God's Samurai" (with the late Gordon W. Prange), "At Dawn We Slept", "Miracle at Midway", "December 7, 1941", "Pearl Harbour: The Verdict of History" and "Target Tokyo". J. Michael Wenger also collaborated with them on "The Way It Was" and "D-Day Normandy".

At long last, the familiar and overused photographs of the"Day of Infamy" can be retired. The 430 prints in this new and welcome collection were gathered from various Japanese and U.S. sources, and most have never been seen by the general public. The majority were taken during the height of the air raid itself, many from Japanese cockpits. Along with numerous maps and sketches, they are arranged according to the various phases of the battle and are supplemented with commentary by two of Gordon Prange's coauthors (Goldstein and Katherine V. Dillon). The overall effect is to give the reader an uncanny sense of being present at the battle. This book will make a wonderful companion piece to Prange's now-classic At Dawn We Slept.
