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

New York St. Martin's Press, 1994 0312110146 / 9780312110147 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
370 pages, 12 plates, map, cloth, dj, fine. 1st edition. From Library Journal: Author, journalist, and veteran Astor has assembled an exciting collection of personal recollections from the men who, in their late teens and early twenties, made history on June 6, 1944, when they invaded occupied France, Hitler's vaunted "fortress Europe," to wrest the continent from Nazi domination. 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.
