Good review, Bud, of a subject that often is overlooked (the war was "over" after the Bulge, and so less-compelling). Kudos.

Those who thought the war was over after the Bulge sure had another thought on the matter while staring at the Rhine river later on. Monty was one of those who thought that all the wind had fled the Germans' "sail", but he found out the hard way that that was not the case yet. Soon, but not quite yet. The real drama was yet to unfold as the Allies argued over objectives such as First to Berlin vs the Alpine Redoubt, how far would the Soviets continue to advance if left unchecked, etc. The race was over after the Bulge but the slogging still had some way to go into the spring of '45. I'm sure that the book is chock-full of unique photos and therein I place its value.
