From Publisher:
In December, 1944, General George Patton turned Third Army north to attack the German penetration through the Ardennes in the Battle of the Bulge. Left behind was a single corps, XX Corps, the "Ghost Corps." Its daunting mission: defend the entire front from which Third Army had hastily withdrawn and then attack to break through the strongly prepared German positions along the Siegfried Line.Through indefatigable research in primary, sources, author Prefer takes the reader down to squad level and many times to individual riflemen. Their heroic acts, recounted here in exciting detail, led to American victory over the defending German forces who often outnumbered and outgunned the GIs of XX Corps. Patton's Ghost Corps truly is a story of heroism and elan.
