Eisenhower and his staff in the crucial months leading up to the Battle of the Bulge. In late August 1944 defeat of the Wehrmacht seemed assured. On December 16, however, the Germans counterattacked. Received wisdom says that Eisenhower s Broad Front strategy caused his armies to stall in early September, and his subsequent failure to concentrate his forces brought about deadlock and opened the way for the German attack. Arguing to the contrary, John A. Adams demonstrates that Eisenhower and his staff at SHAEF had a good campaign strategy, refined to reflect developments on the ground, which had an excellent chance of destroying the Germans west of the Rhine." 410 0$aTwentieth-century battles. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zWestern Front 606 $aHistory, Modern$y20th century 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 615 0$aHistory, Modern 676 $a940.54/21 700 $aAdams$b John A.$f1949-$01870159 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954491703321 996 $aThe battle for Western Europe, Fall 1944$94478518 997 $aUNINA
