ASTOR, GERALD A Blood-Dimmed Tide. the Battle of the Bulge by the Men Who Fought It.
New York Donald I. Fine, Inc. 1992 1556112815 / 9781556112812 Hard Cover Good in Good dust jacket
532 pages, well illustrated, cloth, dust jacket, lacks front blank endpaper, else very good. From Publishers Weekly: "Astor synthesizes interviews, diaries and correspondence in this evocative treatment of the Battle of the Bulge from a first-hand, front-line perspective. Through the testimony of German and U. S. Participants, he re-creates the confusion and brutality of the war, the Germans' determination to break through at any cost, and the desperate American resistance that frustrated Hitler's last offensive. Many of Astor's interviewees, overrun by the German advance, became prisoners of war. Their accounts of their experiences in a collapsing Reich are the most original contribution of a work that, with its focus on the human aspects of the fighting in the Ardennes, brilliantly complements Charles MacDonald's A Time for Trumpets." ; 532 pages

370 pages, 12 plates, map, cloth, dj, fine. 1st edition.

The voices of 70 men recount the exhilaration, fear, and valor they felt during the greatest land, sea, and air battle of World War II; there are vivid accounts of action as U.S. soldiers and paratroopers battled elite Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS panzer divisions commanded by Erwin Rommel, the notorious and brilliant "Desert Fox." Supported by well-chosen sources, including personal memoirs and diaries, and other familiar primary and secondary material, this well-written volume is sure to appeal to scholars, informed laymen, and general audiences alike.

Astor, Gerald The Mighty Eighth: the Air War in Europe As Told by the Men Who Fought It
New York Donald I. Fine, Inc. 1997 1556115105 / 9781556115103 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
Xii, [2], 464 pages, plates, map, cloth, DJ, very good. Stated first printing. From the estate of noted aviation collector Colin H. Kidd and with his embossed sticker. From Library Journal: "Astor, a journalist and narrator of popular World War II historical subjects, has combed the latest published memoirs and collected numerous oral interviews to assemble what will probably be the best eyewitness account of the daytime air raids over German-occupied Europe. Besides the usual recollections of bomber and fighter pilots, he also presents the viewpoints of the air gunners and mechanics, bombardiers, and navigators who fought alongside them. Best of all, Astor has the Ernie Pyle-like knack of presenting his subjects as distinct personalities who stay in the reader's mind. The book is intelligently organized, systematically following the Eighth from its hesitant beginnings to its climax as a combat juggernaut, all the while keeping its story in perspective with the larger picture of the European war. The result is a compelling document of the air war. "
