Corps Commanders of the Bulge () von Harold R. Winton

A major new approach to Hitler's much-studied famous last-gasp counteroffensive in late December 1944 that illuminates American command leadership at the "corps" level. Focuses on the performance of six generals in the war's most famous battle to give a new perspective of the crucial--but often neglected--level between "division" and "army."
