After the success at Normandy, the Allied commanders are confident that
the war in Europe will soon be over. But in December 1944, in the
Ardennes Forest, the Germans launch a ruthless counteroffensive that
begins the Battle of the Bulge. The Führer will spare nothing to
preserve his twisted vision of a "Thousand Year Reich," but stout
American resistance defeats the German thrust. No Less Than Victory is
a riveting account presented through the eyes of Eisenhower, Patton, and
the soldiers who struggled face-to-face with their enemy, as well as
from the vantage point of Germany's old soldier, Gerd von Rundstedt, and
Hitler's golden boy, Albert Speer. Jeff Shaara carries the reader on a
journey that defines the spirit of the soldier and the horror of a
madman's dreams.
