11 Days in December tells the dramatic story of 1 of the grimmest points of World War II and its own Christmas Eve turn toward victory. In December 1944, the Allied forces thought their campaign for securing Europe was at its final stages. But Germany had one last great surprise attack still planned, leading to some of the most intense fighting in World War II: the Battle of the Bulge. After ten days of horrific climate and warfare, General Patton famously asked God, "Sir, whose side are you on?" For the next four days, as the skies cleared, the Allies could fly again, the Nazis were contained, and the outcome of the war was ensured. Renowned historian and author Stanley Weintraub tells the exceptional story of the Battle of the Bulge as it has never been told before, from frozen foxholes to barn shelters to boxcars filled with wretched prisoners of war. He weaves together the stories of ordinary soldiers and their generals to recreate this dramatic, crucial narrative of the miraculous shift of luck amid the most important war of the present day era.
