Hardcover in dust jacket; the book has some slight shelf wear, and the spine ends are a little pushed, but the contents are in excellent clean condition. The jacket is a little bumped along edges, and the spine has faded slightly.Hitler\'s last desperate attempt to bring the Allies to a separate peace table had failed with the German counter offensive of the Ardennes in the Winter of 1944-45. But the Germans, faced with only unconditional surrender as an alternative, fought for every inch of ground. This volume follows the four US Armies in their sweep across Germany; the capture of the bridge of Remagen; assault crossings of the Rhine, including a spectacular airborne drop; the capture of thousands of Germans in the Ruhr; the terrible discovery of the concentration camps and the final dash for the Elbe River to meet the Russian Army. This volume is the work of Army Historians, some of whom were combatants in the events described.xx, 532 pages, including Appendices and Index.
