Reviews for The Tigers of Bastogne: Voices of the 10th Armored Division During the Battle of the Bulge
This is a superb detailed account of a less familiar aspect of a famous battle, often providing platoon by platoon and day-by-day details of the role played by the men of the US 10th Armored Division in the defensive of Bastogne, and thus in the wider Allied victory in the Battle of the Bulge.
