Generals of the Bulge cover

The Battle of the Bulge lives in history as the U.S. Army's largest and bloodiest battle of World War II. This innovative study of American military leadership in action during the battle examines the performance of six generals in the days and weeks after the German attack in December 1944.

  • Generals covered include Dwight Eisenhower and Omar Bradley, among others
  • Five levels of command are studied: supreme coalition, army group, army, corps, and division/armored combat command
  • A unique and important history that will appeal to buffs, scholars, and soldiers

    • Jerry D. Morelock’s Generals of the Bulge is a fine and useful addition to the enormous body of literature about the biggest battle in American military history. -- Rick Atkinson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Liberation Trilogy
    This is great: One of the best books about the U.S. Army in World War II is revised, and made better. You can’t understand the war without reading this. -- Thomas E. Ricks, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Fiasco and The Generals
    This is a superb account of selected generals leading American forces during the Battle of the Bulge. Morelock explores the character and careers of these men and explains why some of them failed as leaders during the bitter fighting in the Ardennes while other succeeded. Cracking good history and a fascinating discussion of the extraordinary demands of leadership—when lives are on the line. -- John W. Mountcastle, Brigadier General, U.S. Army (Ret.), former Army Chief of Military History
