{"product_id":"9780312034191","title":"Rhineland: The Battle to End the War","description":"With their backs to the Rhine, crack German troops fought savagely to save their Fatherland in the grim winter of 1945, refusing to back down even with the Allies on their doorstep. The Battle of the Rhineland, the last great attritional battle fought by the Allies in World War II, was underway.\u003cp\u003e As a young combat officer during the Northwest Europe Campaign, Denis Whitaker knew that his survival -- and the survival of the 1,000 men under his command -- depended on his battle skills and cool leadership in action against the relentless Germans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Now, following the highly successful release of the second edition of the authors' award-winning book Tug of War: The Allied Victory That Opened Antwerp, this landmark study lets the soldiers on both sides tell their stories of this epic clash, from the black humour of the slit trench to their dogged courage under fire. Extensively researched, Rhineland shows how the Rhine was won despite the bickering and infighting among Eisenhower's generals that cost so many young lives.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009873035504,"sku":"9780312034191","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780312034191","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
