Simply the best
We all know the professionalism of the "After the Battle" edition series. Jean-Paul Pallud's reputation is well asserted too. Yes, the very man that found M. Wittman's grave in the 80s.
As of today the book is one of the best account on that famous battle. Though I would have preferred, title wise, Battle of the Ardennes over "the Bulge" which really doesn't ring a bell except in the mind of the geography- wanting Americans ... (no harm meant).
The quality of the photos are outstanding, the choice excellent, captions always accurate and factual. There are no shortcuts or cheatings, I mean no pictures taken on the eastern front have been inserted here and there just to beef up the photographic record.
The book's a must.

STUNNING HISTORICAL VOLUME
If you want a photographic historical record of the Battle of the Bulge then you must have this book. It's not cheap but then its size and quality justify the price. Wartime stills side by side with peacetime photographs of the same settings many years on show the contrast of war and peace. There's plenty of detailed narrative to cover the action and chronology of the battle. If you're planning to visit the Ardennes, this would be a great companion. You just need to do some weight training first to allow you to carry it around.

It's not just one of the best books on the battle I've bought, it's one of the best books I've ever acquired.
