Reviews

Once again this is another book that makes you want to load up the car, hit the ferry and go touring in the Ardennes.

Listed in Military History Monthly's round up of the best military history titles for March 2018.
*Military History Matters (Reviewer)*

I love this book as much as its predecessors. The style works for me and I have found it to be useful and quite inspirational.
*War History Online 21/12/2018*

It will be good for the historian who has an interest in the Battle of the Bulge and there are some excellent reference photos and inspiration for modellers. It is equally ideal for the battlefield visitor, with details of what happened where and with what to look for in terms of memorials and memorabilia that would be worth looking out for if you plan to visit the area.
*Military Model Scene*

This is a high-quality combination of maps, photographs, and key text commentary…Another fine title in this excellent series of Casemate publications." - Winner of the 'Miniature Wargames Recommends' award for March 2018.
