After the success of D-Day and then the sweep across France, the Allies are taking a pause in the days before Christmas, 1944, planning for their final drive into Germany. What they don't know is that Hitler has secretly mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to launch a major sneak offensive on his Western front. The Battle of the Bulge is the 40-day stand against Germany’s last major attempt to isolate and overpower Allied forces—the biggest, deadliest battle of the war in Europe.
Flashing between General Dwight Eisenhower’s Supreme Headquarters in Versailles and Hitler's infamous Eagle's Nest—and featuring new, first-hand accounts from American soldiers on the front lines—Emmy and Peabody Award–winning journalist Chris Wallace offers a front-row seat to the Allied Powers’ dramatic stand against the Nazis’ desperate gamble. Countdown Battle of the Bulge tells heroic stories through deep research and interviews with members of the Greatest Generation—who fought through foot-high snow and subzero conditions, and who shared their accounts of one of the most pivotal victories of the war's final year.

Praise for Countdown: Battle of the Bulge
"Well-researched, briskly paced, and deeply human, Wallace and Weiss deliver an accessible and comprehensive overview of the 40 days that permanently broke the spine of the Third Reich." —WWII History Magazine
Praise for the Countdown series:
“A look at a critical period in U.S. history that holds lessons for today... takes us behind the scenes. . . . A reminder of how 1960 was. . . a deeply perilous time for America. It also was a moment the nation survived because of patriotism and courage.” —Associated Press on Countdown 1960
“[A] superb, masterly book. . . . The book reads like a riveting novel as Wallace reveals the machinations and internal debates among the scientific community to devise a workable atomic bomb as quickly as possible. . . . But Countdown 1945 is also a profound story of decision making at the highest levels—and of pathos.” —The New York Times on Countdown 1945
“Even though the ending is known, the book keeps you on the edge of your seat.”—The Washington Times on Countdown Bin Laden
