Panzers in Winter

"Panzers in Winter" is S. Mitcham's history of the Battle of the Bulge in WWII.  The book is concise, sticks to a chronological format, provides adequate maps, and like I have found with Mitcham's other works, a good writing style.

For the most part, it is a re-telling of a well known story.  The book does provide a chapter that focuses on the difficult but successful effort by the Germans to surround the the green US 106th division with nearly tank-less, foot-mobile only infantry forces. 


Good book for the wargamer.  Mitcham sketches out several battles that are playable with various rules sets.
