'A thought-provoking and compelling account of one of the most iconic battles of the Second World War. Brilliant' -- James Holland 'Caddick-Adams knows more about the Bulge than any other historian I have read...I admire his originality...Snow and Steel offers an authoritative narrative of the drama...' -- Max Hasting, The Sunday Times 'An encyclopaedic and eminently readable book' -- Times Literary Supplement 'A compelling read' -- ***** Reader review 'The definitive Bulge history' -- ***** Reader review 'Absolutely brilliant book' -- ***** Reader review 'Brilliant read. Captivating and informative' -- ***** Reader review 'Excellent, authoritative and very well written' -- ***** Reader review ******************************************************************************************** Snow and Steel is a huge reassessment of Hitler's last great throw of the dice: 'The Battle of the Bulge', the battle for the Ardennes from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945. This is an utterly fascinating five weeks when for a time it looked like Hitler had outflanked the allied armies pushing toward the Rhine and might just throw them back to the Normandy beaches. It is also the context for the catastrophic events at Bastogne depicted so graphically in Band of Brothers. For military history fans this is one of those touchstone battles of World War Two, written by an author with a world-wide reputation. With specially commissioned maps, photographs, primary archival material and personal interviews, this is a truly controversial, commercial and landmark book.
