Description
8220aprovocative and stimulating addition to
the study of World War II.8221HistoryNetPerfect
for readers of Max Hastings, James Holland and
Stephen E. Ambrose.By September 1944 the Germany
army in France had been decimated and survivors
were streaming back to the Reich. The British SAS
commanders were clearing the way for the American
armies of George S. Patton, Alexander Patch
and Courtney Hodges. By the afternoon of
September 11, 1944, men of the U.S. 5th Armored
Division penetrated the poorly defended Siegfried
Line. Yet just when the Rhine was ripe for the
taking General Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered all
further advances to be halted.Could combination
of American forces supported by the British SAS
have crossed the Rhine and thrust into the heart
of Germany in the autumn of 1944?
Did Eisenhower8217srigid adherence to his
broad-front strategy delay the end of the war by
several months and cause thousands of men to lose
their lives in the bloody struggles in the
Ardennes and the Hurtgen Forest during the Battle
of the Bulge?Charles Whiting8217sbrilliant book
Death on a Distant Frontier is a hard-hitting
reappraisal of Eisenhower8217stactics. Through
extensive research Whiting shines a light on the
conflicts of personalities between the various
generals and explores how Eisenhower
conducted the war to ensure that his insiders
reaped the glory of being the first American army
to cross the Rhine.As a veteran of this campaign,
Whiting was a witness to the turmoil that
reigned during this fourth month period, yet
through his fast-paced narrative and informed
analysis he is able to provide vivid insight into
this much-overlooked period of the Second
World War when the Allies could have broken
through into Nazi Germany.
