...week in two great battles 13,000 miles apart-the battle of Luzon, in the Philippines, and the battle of the Ardennes in Belgium and Luxembourg (see below). As combat operations, the two seemed as remote from one another as though fought on different planets. On the plane of global strategy and logistics, they were tightly interlocked...
