The Last Offensive chronicles the operations of all five U.S. armies from early January 1945 to V-E Day (May 8). Special attention is given to the Operation Grenade and the sweep to the Rhine (historic boundary of German power); the seizure of the Remagen bridge; the multiple crossings of the Rhine; and the employment of airbourne troops in Operation Varsity. The story ends with the drive to the Elbe and juncture with the Soviets and, in the south. with the occupation of Germany's Alpine Redoubt. The Last Offensive is a dramatic piece of military history and offers a varied array of ground-force operations. Given the gigantic size of the operations, this volme is structured with emphasis on the amry buy with close scrutiny of important engagements by divisional organizations.
