Nuts! the Battle of the Bulge
the story and photographs
by Donald M. Goldstein
The Battle of the Bulge - when Hitler sent his troops crashing through the Ardennes to split the Allied forces - was one of the most critical engagements of World War II. This is the illustrated history of the bitter struggle in which the German demand to surrender Bastogne was met with Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe's emphatic refusal, "Nuts!" Such stalwart resistance ultimately brought the German offensive to a standstill.
Nuts! The Battle of the Bulge commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the great battle that thwarted Hitler's final gamble in western Europe. Arranged in an accessible documentary-style format, the extensive collection of photographs and authoritative text make this book a unique and compelling work.

Work Description
The Battle of the Bulge was not a tapestry but a patchwork quilt -- a multitude of small engagements played out in or near small towns, most of no military significance. Only when the individual patches are put together does the pattern become clear. The Battle of the Bulge was Germany's last desperate gamble and, for several weeks, held up the Allied advance. But in the end, Allied power prevailed, and Hitler had expended much of his country's final strength uselessly and hastened Germany's inevitable defeat. - Preface.
