The Battle of the Ardennes. By Robert E. Merriam. Souvenir Press. 223 pp. Index.
This is an authoritative and outspoken account of the Battle of the Bulge written by one who took part in it. Robert E. Merriam was in the U.S. Army Historical Division at the time, and from official reports and diaries and his own interviews with the generals concerned he tells about the battle concerning which there has been so much controversy The book will be of considerable interest to the general reader as well as to the student of military affairs, for it helps to explain present-day thinking of the Pentagon, determined not to have any more Pearl Harbours and secret assaults.
