The Battle of Normandy 1944

What happened to the Allied armies in Normandy in the months after D-Day, 1944? This book re-examines the demands and difficulties of the campaign and sheds new light on both with the aid of accounts from veterans on both sides (oral history forms a large part of the book). It also analyses in detail the plans and performance of the commanders involved. Controversial and at times catastrophic, the Battle of Normandy was the last great set-piece battle in history.
