This well-worn copy of John Toland’s “The Battle of the Bulge” bears the marks of a book that has been thoroughly read and treasured. Published in 1959, Toland’s groundbreaking account of the pivotal World War II battle in the Ardennes forest was one of the first comprehensive studies of the German offensive. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with survivors, Toland vividly recreates the bitter fighting, strategic missteps, and heroic sacrifices that ultimately led to the Allies’ hard-won victory. While the book’s exterior shows its age, the interior pages remain clean and readable, inviting readers to immerse themselves in this pivotal moment in military history. For collectors, this edition offers a tangible connection to the early years of World War II scholarship and Toland’s influential role in shaping our understanding of the conflict.
