The author breaks this confusing battle down into the simplest form. Before, during and after and even applies to Yom Kipper and to the Fulda Gap (where I was stationed in the 1980's). Peter starts us before the bulge and before Operation Market-Garden explaining the origins of Hitler's badly flawed plan. Even explains some of the historical and folk lore that Hitler used to base this plan on. The author goes into detail about the planning, the intelligence or lack there of on the Allied side as well as how the OKW viewed this as a "less than 10 percent" change of success. Much like many of the past debacles in our military history, all the warning signs were there, just not put together in order, or not passed on the right people. The author takes us into the minds, of Ike, Patton, Bradley and many more leaders as well as into the minds of the OKW as well. In addition to the big picture, he also takes us into the fox hole of the dog face's that fought as well as recollections of the German soldiers as well. He covers the infamous massacre and some facts behind it. What I liked the best was he broke this story into three areas of concentration: South - Center and Northern routes of advance. I've read a lot on the bulge and those books have been very confusing due to the other authors jumping back and forth. Caddick-Adams definitely does not do that. The book is a tad bit long though, guess it is due to the meticulous attention to detail he brings to the reader. Most excellent - I'd highly recommend this to any military history buff. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've read most of the works on Hitler’s 1944 Ardennes Offensive and I rate Peter Caddick-Adams’ "Snow and Steel" as the best in *by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2014* Over the past fifty years or so, I've read most of the works on Hitler’s 1944 Ardennes Offensive and I rate Peter Caddick-Adams’ "Snow and Steel" as the best in terms of not only informative detail but explaining the bigger picture and course of events. It is exceptionally well researched, well organized and superbly written. While many if not most works in English focus primarily on the American actions, organizations, and persons, the author covers the German side equally to include the actions and experience of many individual German soldiers. He provides a comprehensive description of German planning, preparation, and objectives of the operation. I found his discussion of historic and cultural aspects that influenced Hitler’s conception of the plan particularly fascinating. The penultimate chapter, “Punctuation Marks of History,” looks at the impact and influence of this major battle on subsequent history and current events. I enjoyed the work, learned from it, and recommend it to anyone interested in understanding the U.S. Army’s largest battle of World War II. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My father earned his 2nd Purple Heart here *by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2017* I have visited the Ardennes region of this battle in Belgium several times, and have many books on the subject. My father 'earned' his second Purple Heart in the Ardennes during this battle. My last trip was in 2015, when I visited numerous battle sites, cemeteries (American and German), towns and cities that had a part. This book is the most detailed of anything published, that I am aware of, regarding the battle. I also visited the Belgian military post in Bastogne that was the headquarters for the 101st Airborne in '44. The Belgian sergeant who gave me a tour was very informative, and proud to talk of the events from the period. Their little museum is very well done, and another section contains many vehicles from the battle, from both sides. While my favorite read on this battle is John Toland's book, 'Battle: Story of the Bulge', this work by Carrick-Adams was well researched and is worth your time, whether or not you decide to visit the battlefields that he brings to life. I stayed in Bastogne for several days on that last trip and found the town to be very friendly. It is also loaded with museums and references to the biggest American battle of the war. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/321708912-snow-and-steel-the-battle-of-the-bulge-1944-45](https://www.desertcart.us/products/321708912-snow-and-steel-the-battle-of-the-bulge-1944-45) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
