On 16 December 1944, Hitler launched his "last gamble" in the forests and gorges of the Ardennes. Although Hitler's generals were doubtful of success, many others were desperate to believe that they could still save their homes and families from the Red Army. The Ardennes offensive, with more than a million men involved, became the greatest battle of the war in western Europe. A number 1 bestseller from the author of Stalingrad and Berlin.
