Het Ardennenoffensief

The book provides a detailed look at a brutal period in WWII, but I'm curious if there was a particular story or event that sparked this focus.

The descriptions of the cold and survival struggles felt so visceral that I wondered how much of that was based on firsthand accounts versus research.

With so many brave individuals involved, choosing which stories to tell must’ve been tough—what was the process behind selecting these particular narratives?
