Good read.
This book is a good read. It gives another example of why to appreciate what people have sacrificed to rid the world of evil leadership.
 The Longest WinterExcce
Excellent converage of WWII during the winter of 1944. I was in the Army and in that area at the time of the Battle of the Bulge and the narrative and pictures in the book gave me a feeling of being back in time.
Th Longest Winter: The Battle of the Bulge and the Epic Story of WWII's most Decorated Platoon
My husband loved the book.His uncle was in the 35th infantry in Baston. The book was very real to him.
Incredible and inspirational; a Hollywood storyline that's true
An incredibly detailed, yet not tedious, report on one American unit's significant contribution in turning back the final offensive of the Third Reich and surviving one of the harshest winters in modern European history. Told with ample background on all the participants, from both sides of the lines, this book is a breeze to get through and will make you buy every other book by Alex Kershaw. Well researched. Easily one of the best war books I've read in the last couple of years.
 Too many errors in information to make it enjoyable.
There are too many errors in the "facts" of this story to list, so I'll just point out the one that bothers me the most. The 99th division did not capture the Ludendorff bridge at Remagen as indicated in this book. The 9th Armored along with 78th division captured the bridge and established the bridge head. Even rudimentary research would have revealed this fact. So when an author can't get the obvious correct, it calls into question every statement in the book. If you can't or won't do the research on WWII... then don't write about it. My father fought at the Ludendorff bridge, and you do a great dis-service to the men who where there and gave their lives when you mis-state the facts of the battles.
