All badasses, however, have some things in common, and I like observing and documenting them. This audiobook is a collection of my observations.

This engrossing and meticulously researched volume reexamines the decisions made by Dwight D. Eisenhower and his staff in the crucial months leading up to the Battle of the Bulge.
