4.9/5 (32133 ratings)

Description:In the early morning of June 6, 1944 - D-Day - the Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy. The immediate objective was to secure a beachhead. The ultimate goal was the surrender of Hitler's army.To defeat Germany, the Allies launched the largest amphibious attack in history across the English Channel. Failure would mean, at best, prolonging the war. At worst, it would give Germany the chance to develop secret "wonder weapons." The invasion of France had to succeed. And ultimately, despite murderous German resistance, mistakes and miscues of Allied commanders, and a great cost in lives, Allied soldiers did secure the beachheads of Normandy.But the much-celebrated landings at Omaha beach and elsewhere were just the beginning, for the success of the landing was achieved only after another two months of hard fighting. The Normandy Campaign masterfully describes the movements of the armies - British, Canadian, and American - as they made their way to Paris, with dramatic firsthand accounts of the soldiers who fought in the dunes and through the hedgerows of Normandy.The Normandy Campaign takes a candid and critical look at the rivalries between Allied commanders and explodes the myths about the numbers of troops involved and the effectiveness of their weaponry. It details atrocities on both sides as well as friendly fire incidents, and it evaluates the performance of the major military leaders. Victor Brooks brings unrivalled color and clarity to the strategy of the Allies and the tactics of the units as they battle their way from Normandy's beaches to the banks of the Seine.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
