Corps Commanders of the Bulge: Six American Generals and Victory in the Ardennes by Harold R. Winton

Wei Yi brought this book to my attention the other day. A description in Amazon describes:

"Winton's is the first study of the Bulge to examine leadership at the largely neglected level of corps command. Focusing on the decisions and actions of six Army corps commanders-Leonard Gerow, Troy Middleton, Matthew Ridgway, John Millikin, Manton Eddy, and J. Lawton Collins-he recreates their role in this epic struggle through a mosaic of narratives that take the commanders from the pre-war training grounds of America to the crucible of war in the icy-cold killing fields of Belgium and Luxembourg."
Hmm.. Ridgeway and Collins yes. The others? Hmm...
