Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A thoroughly researched, densely packed WWII study…Part textbook study, part military narrative, the book achieves an almost literary quality in dramatized scenes that draws from both recorded conversations and the language of official orders…The in-depth coverage of this historic battle succeeds in painting a colorful, realistic picture of how an all-or-nothing gamble by Hitler turned into a ‘climactic showdown’ for both sides. This may very well be an authoritative work on the subject, yet one that reads more like an action-packed adventure than a scholarly tome.” —Publishers Weekly
“Leo Barron and Don Cygan have shed new light on the crucial siege of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. No Silent Night is the product of in-depth research and a strong commitment to historical accuracy. Whether you are new to the topic or a confirmed expert, you will learn much from this book.” —John C. McManus, author of Alamo in the Ardennes: The Untold Story of the American Soldiers Who Made the Defense of Bastogne Possible and September Hope: The American Side of a Bridge Too Far
“Bastogne has always figured large in any account of the Battle of the Bulge. In No Silent Night, Leo Barron and Don Cygan provide new insight into the climactic battle that raged for that small Ardennes market town on Christmas Day 1944. New sources, interviews, and thorough documentation grace this book, which will be a boon for those seeking to understand how Americans prevailed in one of their most famous World War II victories.” —Danny S. Parker, author of Fatal Crossroads
“The authors are as embedded with their subjects as is possible to be without a time machine.” —History Book Club
