In the fall of 1944, Hitler realized that the defeat of Germany was imminent. But instead of seeking peace, he launched a massive, last-ditch offensive against the Allied forces. The subsequent fight, know as the Battle of the Bulge, involved more than a million soldiers and some of the war's fiercest fighting. John S. D. Eisenhower, son of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, presents a comprehensive portrait of what happened that December, and how the Allies triumphed. In his introduction to this reprinted volume, Stephen E. Ambrose says that "The Bitter Woods will be read so long as the Republic lasts." That's high praise from America's leading historian of the Second World War, and this book is, in truth, one of the better World War II titles available.

Should be on the bookshelves of all modern military historians, professional and amatuer alike.......2007-05-24
John S. D. Eisenhower's "The Bitter Woods: The Dramatic Story, Told At All Echelons - From Supreme Command to Squad Leader - of the Crisis That Shock the Western Coalition: Hilter's Surprise Ardennes Offensive" is a tour-de-force piece of historical literature. As a former WWII junior officer and son of the Supreme Commander, John Eisenhower writes from a solid first (and extremely close second) hand experience as a soldier in the Allied forces that defeated the Axis forces in NW Europe. More than just a former soldier and son of the leader of the armed coalition of victors, Eisenhower emerges with "The Bitter Woods" as a military historian of the first class. Few accounts of the Battle of the Bulge (as Hitler's Ardennes offensive was oft referred in Allied press accounts and writings since) are as thoroughly researched and broad reaching.
Eisenhower starts his book by providing short, but informative, biographies of the top commanders on the Allied and German sides (unnumbered pages in the 1995 DaCapo Press paperback version reviewed here), followed by an insightful Forward (pp. 17-23) in which he describes the genesis of the book and his views on how "The Bitter Woods" might fit into the literature dedicated to the Bulge. Even if one does not read "The Bitter Woods" in its entirety the Forward alone is worth a look for budding historians and historical authors as a potential guide to understanding ones own work and its worth.
While Eisenhower does not cover in detail the German side of the equation that led to this greatest of American armed conflicts, he is mindful to place the conflict in perspective, both from the Allied and German sides. In fact, 'Book I' of "The Bitter Woods" (pp. 27-102) covers the event leading up to the Ardennes conflict, minus the actual pre-attack preparations (covered in 'Book II'; see below). He deals with strategic and tactical errors made prior to the battle on both Allied and German sides, and sets the stage for the rest of the book, which represents a detailed accounting of the action from grunt to Ike's command.
In 'Book II' (pp. 105-176) Eisenhower details how the Germans prepared for their Ardennes Counteroffensive, and how the Allies missed their chance to snuff the attack before it started. While much of the discussion on the German side remains as valid today as it was when Eisenhower first penned "The Bitter Woods" in the late '60s, his analysis of Allied blunders might be considered by some to be less thorough. It is fair to point out to readers that when Eisenhower wrote "The Bitter Woods", Ultra, the Allied deciphering of German coded communications, was still a Western secret and no historian was yet privy to all of the INTEL that the Allies had at the time of the Ardennes Counteroffensive. In this regard if Eisenhower does miss the mark a bit it is not from a failure on his part in researching or writing the book, but rather from the time in which the book was written, relative to what exactly was available in terms of Allied intel reports. Having said all this it is still arguable that even with Ultra intel the Allies still could not have effectively divined Hitler's intentions (while not the overt intention of the book, "The Ghost Front" by Charles Whiting effectively demonstrates this latter thesis), especially given the Allied mindset that the war was effectively over and the Germans were incapable of mounting a serious offensive, along with the fact that the Germans quite effectively limited use of radio and wire messages during the lead up to D-day (16 December 1944). Thus, in the end despite having a less than complete Allied intel picture, Eisenhower's analyses of Allied blunders are still on fairly solid ground.
In 'Books III (pp. 179-257) and IV (pp. 261-375)', Eisenhower gives his prose to a discussion of the bulk of the battle (16-26 Dec). In particular, Eisenhower presents a lucid and moving, not to mention highly readable, account of the initial attack and breakthroughs the Germans achieved in critical sectors of the US V and VIII Corps sectors and the brave stands of pockets of US forces in stemming these initial breakthroughs. Robert Merriam ("Dark December"), John Toland ("Battle of the Bulge") and Charles MacDonald ("A Time for Trumpets") have also done these events justice with their historical writings. When Eisenhower's accounts are added into this mix one gets a quite full account.
'Book V' covers the US and Allied (Eisenhower gives fair - not too little and not too much - credit to the contributions of Monty's 21st Army Group) final reduction of the German forces west of the Rhine, as well as a chapter entitled 'The Final Analysis', in which he tries (quite effectively) to place the battle in perspective of the ETO and ultimate defeat of the Axis forces in Europe. Like the 'Forward', this final chapter alone is worth reading on its own independent of the great material that precedes it.
In the end "The Bitter Woods" is a 5 star effort that should be read by ALL interested in the greatest of US Army battles, one that to this day exists in the American conscience.
The Definitive Book on the Battle.......2006-11-16
This book is considered by many to be the definitive book on the Battle of the Bulge.
As the son of 'Ike' Eisenhower had a mixture of good and bad. On the one hand his own activities were restricted by lower level officers not wanting to accept the risk that Ike's kid was killed or captured. At the same time he had more access to much higher ranking individuals than would the normal low ranking officer. This included the ability to meet with people like Patton, Bradley, Montgomery and so on. This was an ideal situation for a budding historian.
The Battle of the Bulge was the biggest battle ever fought by the U.S. Army. During the battle the Army lost 20,000 killed, 20,000 captured, 40,000 wounded. This was more casualties than the total number of men in the Army of Northern Virginia at Gettysburg.
This story begins on day one of the battle, backs up a bit to give some understanding of how things came to be, tells a detailed story covering every level from commander to squad leader, and wraps up with the aftereffects of the battle. It is written in an easy to read, easy to understand manner.
This book was first published in 1969, reprinted periodically, and has just gone out of print.
Best Bulge Book on the Supreme Command.......2005-06-02
This is considered one of the four great books on the Battle of the Bulge. The others are John Toland's Battle, Hugh Cole's official US Army History: The Ardennes: Battle of the Bulge and Charles B. MacDonald's A Time for Trumpets. I have read all but Hugh Cole's book and will review each of them.
The Bitter Woods starts with a good background of the breakout from the Normandy beachhead and takes you up the start of the Bulge. Eisenhower gives you a strategic view of the events leading up to the Bulge. He discusses the strategy that the Allies were using against the Germans. His book gives you much more background of the operations before the Bulge than either Toland's or MacDonald's.
As this book was written in 1968, the knowledge of the Enigma intercepts was not released yet. Eisenhower is still able to discuss the deception operation that the Germans were able to successfully conduct against the Allies.
Once Eisenhower gets to the battle he does a good job of taking you to soldier level battles. MacDonald does a better job but he doesn't set the strategic context as well as Eisenhower. All of these books are detailed enough that they keep you referring to the maps to understand what was happening.
Eisenhower also gives more details of other events that happened during and after the the Bulge such as the German offensive Operation Nordwind. Finally Eisenhower shows the strategy that led to the end of the war in Europe.
Eisenhower provides many details about the leadership. He personally knew them and his father was able to provide many personal details.
While Eisenhower knew both General Omar Bradley and Field Marshall Montgomery, I felt he did a pretty good job of describing the personality conflict between them and did not defer from taking on the issue.
If you are looking for a good book on the Battle of Bulge that places it in its historical context, discusses the leadership, and gives you the big view as well as individual actions, the Bitter Woods is the best book of the three.
The Bitter Opinion.......2005-02-25
COL Eisenhower initially wrote this book to be an analysis of American commanders in a moment of crisis. However, in writing the book, COL Eisenhower gradually changed the book from the analysis of leadership to that of telling the story of the Battle of the Bulge.
The book opens by telling the background of the players and the events leading up to the battle. COL Eisenhower brought up some interesting items (like how poor the US Intelligence arm was during the 1930's) and his opinion on some of the leaders. Unfortunately, while I consider his opinion to be a valid opinion, I found it very prejudice against different leaders, particularly General's Eisenhower (he found no fault with Ike's leadership or handling of the Bulge situation), Bradley (I felt his opinion of Bradley was that of a loyal lap dog), Hodges (very complementary toward him, seemed to feel he was the best Army level general we had), and Patton (his comments about Patton being a weak leader when dealing with a static situation was very interesting). COL Eisenhower follows this with a very good breakdown of what Hitler and his generals did to prepare for the upcoming battle.
COL Eisenhower then told the story of the battle. This was done different that most books I've read on the subject. Initially, he described the entire situation along the front, with the different breakthrough attempts by the Germans (a traditional telling shall we say), working north to south. Unfortunately, the subsequent chapters didn't follow the traditional tell what happened on that day. Instead, focused on telling one situation and how the leaders handled the situation. While good for an analysis of leadership, it makes for telling story of the battle a little harder on the reader (ok, it's December 21st, St. Vith is crumbling, what's the situation down south...). Something that I was very interested in, was how COL Eisenhower felt sorry for General Jones (commander of the 106th ID). This is something that I've never really seen before from other writers on this subject.
Part of the books description says that the book looks at leadership at all levels during the battle. This was something that I felt was done weakly at the lower-to-mid levels (squad to battalion). While COL Eisenhower does describe some of the actions different battlefield leaders made, most of the focus is on the higher leadership. I conceder this to be a weakness in the book.
Rating wise, this has been very difficult. Some parts of the book are very good and thought provoking, while others just lay there. On an Amazon rating of 1-5 stars, I have to give it 3 stars, mainly because it failed it's initial mission (providing a meaningful analysis of American leadership during a crisis) and it's secondary role (telling the story of the Battle of the Bulge) isn't as strong as other books on the subject (Battle by John Toland for example).
Fascinating account of Hitler's last gamble in the West...........2003-12-05
The Bitter Woods, historian John S. D. Eisenhower's insightful account of the Ardennes Counteroffensive in the winter of 1944, is one of the best books yet written about the Battle of the Bulge. Along with John Toland's 1959 classic Battle: The Story of the Bulge and the late Charles B. MacDonald's A Time for Trumpets, this volume is a must-read for World War II buffs.
The Ardennes Counteroffensive was the brainchild of Adolf Hitler himself. Even as Soviet forces raced toward Berlin from the east and the Western Allies advanced steadily toward the Rhine in the west, the Fuhrer squirreled away hundreds of tanks and artillery pieces plus thousands of soldiers -- some of them either old men over the age of 50 or young boys no older than 16 -- and planned a daring stroke reminiscent of the Third Reich's triumphs in 1939 and 1940. Three entire armies would strike the Allies in the "quiet" Ardennes forest region of Belgium and Luxembourg and drive to the crucial port of Antwerp. Hitler hoped to drive a wedge between the Anglo-Canadian armies in the north and the American armies in the south and cause inter-Allied political strife. At the very least, the seizure of Antwerp would slow the Allied advance just enough so Nazi Germany could develop "wonder weapons" and rain V-1 and V-2 missiles on London and other Allied cities. At the very best, the Grand Alliance would fall apart and Hitler might be able to negotiate a separate peace with Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
But even though Hitler's offensive caught the Allies by surprise on Dec. 16, 1944 and created much havoc and confusion, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme commander of the Allied forces, remained relatively calm. The Germans did penetrate the thinly held front and created a salient or "bulge" in the Allied lines, but Eisenhower and his field commanders (Bradley, Hodges, Patton and the various corps and divisional commanders) soon recovered and took decisive measures to contain the German assault.
But generals and colonels, no matter how skilled or determined, can't win battles alone. The Bitter Woods contains many accounts of brave GIs and junior officers who fought tooth and nail to slow and stop Hitler's last desperate gamble in the West. Readers who are just beginning to read about World War II will be in awe of the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division who helped hold the surrounded city of Bastogne, whose capture by the Germans was deemed by Hitler as a principal objective if his plan were to succeed. (Bastogne is where Brig. Gen Tony McAuliffe replied to the Germans' demand for surrender with the pithy one-word refusal, "Nuts!") The author, who graduated from West Point in June 1944 and is the Supreme Commander's son, writes about the stand of St. Vith's defenders, the combat engineers who blew bridges in front of the advancing panzer units, the ill-advised massacre of American POWs at Baugnez (the misnamed Malmedy Massacre) by SS troops and the harrowing baptism by fire of the green 106th Infantry Division, which lost two of its regiments in the largest American surrender since Bataan in 1942.
Eisenhower also writes extensively about the campaign in Northwest Europe both before and after the Battle of the Bulge, allowing both the new reader and long-time buff to place this, the largest single battle in U.S. Army history (there were, by January of 1945, over 600,000 soldiers involved), in the context of the liberation of Europe from Nazi tyranny.
Because the book was originally written in 1969, five years before the revelation of the Ultra secret, the account of the Allies' intelligence failure is not as well-explained as in the 1985 book by Charles MacDonald, but aside from that, The Bitter Woods still stands as one of the finest "case studies" of a major battle of World War II.

Book Description
"Anyone – student, news junkie or bet-settler – who needs quick access to information about a major religion would do well to have this...book nearby." – New York Daily News. The spiritual world we live in today is a diverse and sometimes highly individual mix of religious practices and beliefs. The physical world is a much smaller place, often secular in appearance but still very much fueled by religious beliefs and conflict in the name of God. The Handy Religion Answer Book provides solid descriptions of major beliefs and rituals worldwide, affording the reader an understanding of contemporary religion. Clearly and eloquently written by a scholar with 30 years of study and teaching experience, Handy Religion is an easy-to-use comparative guide for anyone seeking basic religious literacy and intellectual history. The Handy Religion Answer Book looks specifically at the world’s religious traditions that trace their origins to the Middle East (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), South East Asia (Buddhism, Hinduism), and East Asia (Confucianism, Taoism, Shinto). Is there such a thing as a Muslim saint? What is the significance of the Star of David? How did so many different Christian churches come into being? What is the importance of the month of Ramadan? Do Hindus really believe in and worship many gods? Who was the Buddha and what does tradition say about his early life? Dr. John Renard examines each religion for history and sources, religious beliefs, signs and symbols, membership, community, diversity, leadership, authority, organization, personalities, and powers, holidays and regular observances, and customs and rituals. Handy Religion includes 125 illustrations, suggestions for further reading, and a global timeline of the history of religion.

Very Useful for Sorting Through Relgions.......2006-02-25
Great book that answers most of the questions rationale people have about religion. Great reference for settling disputes about religious practices. It's the "bible" of relgious FAQs.
Poorly researched.......2006-01-24
I like the question-and-answer format, but too many of the answers are wrong.
The brief section "What about Baha'i and Ahmadiyya" is an example. The author has a sentence or so about the origin of the Baha'i faith, about its founder Baha'u'llah and his claims to be a Prophet. OK so far, though not too detailed. Then he goes on to say that after Baha'u'llah's death in 1892, "his followers took on the mantle" -- this is absolutely wrong and there is no credible source where the author could have gotten that idea. After Baha'u'llah's death, Baha'i leadership fell to his son Abdul-Baha and today Baha'is are governed by elected assemblies. But none of them ever "took on the mantle" of prophethood, because Baha'u'llah was very explicit that the next prophet would be only after 1000 years. It states that Baha'is are considered as non-Moslems -- this is obvious. No Baha'i or Moslem would ever claim otherwise, Baha'i beliefs and practices are far outside of Islam, and most Baha'is today are in non-Islamic countries.
The same section also discusses the Ahmadiyya movement, because both originated from Islamic backgrounds in the 19th century, though otherwise they have little in common. The author said that Ahmadiyya members are considered as "non-Moslems" but fails to point out that this is only the opinion of some mainstream Moslems. Ahmadiyya members -- unlike Baha'is -- claim to be within Islam and deny that their founder claimed a station equal to Muhammed. The author mentions that the Ahmadiyya movement has about 500,000 to 1 million members, but fails to mention that Baha'is have 5 million to 6 million members in over 300 countries, including over 100,000 in the US.
There is not a word about the beliefs and practices of either religion.
So, in summary, the author has only three facts about an important world religion; and of those three facts one is flat wrong and another is obvious.
Sections about Chinese religion and about Islam are little better.
A Bit Short on Extreme Islamic Views.......2004-07-26
I like the idea of sort of a summary of the major religions. It is pretty informative. Unfortunately, no mention is made of the Wahabi movement in Islam which is responsible for at least some of the terrorism attributed to the midle east region. While I agree with the author that the vast majority of Muslims view their faith peacefully readers need to know what is expected under the most extreme practices and the relationship of those practices with the law in an Islamic nation ruled by the law of Sharia.

Not nearly as good as the other Handy Guides.......2003-11-01
I love this series but this one was rather disappointing didn't go into enough detail about the "minor" religions and was overkill on the "major" ones.

How Cool!.......2002-01-02
This book is perfect for anyone who has a lot of questions about history! Everything is here including a break down of world history from the beginning to present day! It is fun to read and a great reference book. A college student must have (especially if you are a history major) and for anyone who is interested in history at all!
Very Informative.......2001-05-13
This book gives you all the answers about almost anything you can imagine. From Drouts in the United States to who the ForeFathers of the United States were. I am always looking for new information, and always wanting my mind to grow, so this was a great book.
In the very beginning it has a Timeline of World events which is very "Handy." It has information on wars I had never heard of, and plenty of information on Adolf Hitler, certaintly not my favorite person, but for writing a report on World War II, it was very nice to have around.
I got this for Christmas, and started reading it that night, so you go out and get this book tonight.
If you are a student, read on..........2000-07-18
As a student, this book has been frequently helpful as a basic reference for any unusual questions I have. It is also excellent as a fun read, and I highly recommend it.
Handy, dandy book.......2000-03-12
Great combination of little known and popular history. I kept it by the bed as late night reading and often stayed up for hours since the next page always held something interesting. Don't even think of putting this in the bathroom as your family and guests will disappear. Only criticism - and it's a minor one - is that I got tired of all the (born and died) dates which were repeated every time someone was mentioned. A superficial - but super - reference book.
History in a nutshell.......2000-01-10
If you have a short attention span and an interest in history like I do, then this book is for you. Everything is concise and to the point. Very interesting, brief descriptions of most major questions on history: people, events, places, etc...
