Thirty-one American divisions—fully one-third of the U.S. Army raised during World War II—saw action in this battle. But it was also a test: could this conscript army from a pacifistic democracy defeat the best remaining men and machines that Germany's totalitarian government could produce?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eBattle of the Bulge\u003c\/em\u003e, author and artist Wayne Vansant brings readers into the frozen foxholes, haunting forests, and devastated villages of the Ardennes during that freezing cold winter. With meticulous historical accuracy and hand-drawn visuals that can tell a story in ways words alone cannot, Vansant recounts the Bulge with insightful detail, replaying the thrusts and volleys of both the combined Allied and German forces during the tumultuous battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a story of panic, fear, and physical misery; a story of how a generation of draftees, National Guardsmen, and a small core of regular officers and NCOs faced those three elements as snow piled around their foxholes and the incessant drumming of artillery splintered the woods that gave them shelter. It is the story of men, frozen and hurting, far from home and holding little hope of seeing it again until the killing finally ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut above all, \u003cem\u003eBattle of the Bulge\u003c\/em\u003e is a story of incredible triumph, now beautifully illustrated in graphic novel format for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849994326252,"sku":"9780760346228","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19390463482458.jpg?v=1759073521"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/wayne-vansant.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
