Reviews

[Kara]

Laughably dated, it would be unfair to give it a starred review. The book now acts as an excellent primary source for historians interested in investigating mindsets, mores, and scientific beliefs of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s.

Once again, Covert Bailey gives such remarkable insight into "the battle of the bulge". Another masterpiece of his that I have added to my book collection.
