    Condizione: Good. THE ALIES HAD BROKEN OUT ACROS FRANCE.HITLER ORDERED A DESPERATE COUNTERATACK.THE ARDENES WOULD RUN WITH BLOD.A furious all-or-nothing German winter counterattack caught the Allies by surprise. Their lines shattered, American soldiers fought with guns and guts and bayonets to slow down the onslaught; fought to separate their comrades from Germans dressed in U.S. uniforms; fought to survive the horrors of such battle sites as Baraque de Fraiture, Elsenborn Ridge, or the infamous Malmedy massacre of unarmed POWs. When it was over, the Allies had suffered 81,000 casualties; the Germans, 125,000.This extraordinary chronicle sweeps us into the most cataclysmic World War I land battle -- from tank duels to hand-to-hand combat and guerilla warfare. In the words of the flesh-and-blood men who fought it, this is the definitive portrait of the chaos, the terror, and the acts of courage and carnage that was the Bulge.…

    Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In the skies of World War II Europe, the Eighth Air Force was a defining factor in turning the tide against the Nazis. In these gripping oral histories, the sacrifice, savagery, and supremacy of the "Mighty Eighth" is described by those who experienced it.and survived it. At the outbreak of World War II, America was woefully unprepared for a fight, though Europe was already years into the battle. Soon, though, America's war machine was rolling out pilots, engineers, planes, and materials in astounding numbers. It was called the Eighth Air Force-and it would hit the Nazi juggernaut like a lightning bolt. Launching a then-groundbreaking campaign of daylight bombing runs, the men of the Eighth would suffer more casualties than the entire Marine Corps in the Pacific theater. But they would also prove to be the most effective weapon against the enemy, taking out strategic targets such as munitions plants and factories that were vital to the German war effort and grinding them to a halt. In The Mighty Eighth, the men who fought in the greatest air war in human history tell their stories of courage and camaraderie as only those who were there can tell them.…

    Condizione: Fair. From the depths of defeat. On December 8, 1941, one day after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Air Force struck the Philippines in the first blow of a devastating invasion. With an undersupplied patchwork army at his command, General Douglas MacArthur led a valiant defense of the Philippines. When defeat came, MacArthur swore he would return, while thousands of POWs fell into Japanese hands - and faced a living hell that many would not survive. To the dawn of victory. In this gripping oral history, Gerald Astor brings to life the struggle to recapture the Philippines: the men who did the fighting, the battles that set the stage for an Allied invasion, and the acts of astounding courage and desperation that marked the campaign on both sides. From Corregidor to the Battle for Manila, from horrifying jungle warfare to cataclysmic clashes at sea, on beachheads and in the air, Crisis in the Pacific draws on the words of the men who were there - capturing this crucial heroic struggle for victory against Japan. "No one does oral history better than Gerald Astor." - Stephen E. Ambrose "Astor has produced a fine work that will take its place in the long line of oral histories to be read by future generations." - Library Journal Also by Gerald Astor: Battling Buzzards The Odyssey of the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team 1943-1945 The Mighty Eighth The Air War in Europe as Told by the Men Who Fought It A Blood-Dimmed Tide The Battle of the Bulge by the Men Who Fought It Operation Iceberg The Invasion and Conquest of Okinawa in World War II Available From Dell.…
