Klappentext zu „The Battle for Western Europe, Fall 1944: An Operational Assessment “
This engrossing and meticulously researched volume reexamines thedecisions made by Dwight D. Eisenhower and his staff in the crucial months leadingup to the Battle of the Bulge. In late August 1944 defeat of the Wehrmacht seemedassured. On December 16, however, the Germans counterattacked. Received wisdom saysthat Eisenhower's Broad Front strategy caused his armies to stall in earlySeptember, and his subsequent failure to concentrate his forces brought aboutdeadlock and opened the way for the German attack. Arguing to the contrary, John A.Adams demonstrates that Eisenhower and his staff at SHAEF had a good campaignstrategy, refined to reflect developments on the ground, which had an excellentchance of destroying the Germans west of the Rhine.
