Written by Emmy Award winning author and historian Bob Carruthers, and drawing extensively on primary sources, The Normandy Campaign 1944 encompasses the strategic, operational and tactical aspects of the battle for Normandy and expertly details the events which influenced the actions of the armies on both sides of the battlefront. The entire scope of the 1944 battle for Normandy is considered including the weapons, defences and logistical problems. This book features all of the most important battles which erupted following the D-day landings including Epsom, Goodwood, Charnwood, Mortain and culminates in the Falaise pocket. Also included is an extensive survey of the raid on Dieppe and its importance as a dress rehearsal for Operation Overlord. |
