SuitabookBattle of the Bulge
Rick Atkinson
- Reading
- Read it in short sections, pausing to locate the Ardennes and sketch the changing direction of the battle. Discuss unfamiliar military terms, then return to the photographs and statistics to ask what they add.
- Themes
- Military victory and human cost: The book addresses military victory and human cost; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. It creates an opportunity to consider how military success can be described alongside extensive loss of life.
- Worth knowing
- A reader may want support when considering the human cost of warfare alongside the movement of armies and the language of victory.
