Title: Decision in Normandy: The Unwritten Story of Montgomery and the Allied Campaign ISBN: 9780141390567 Author: Carlo D'Este Rating: ⭐ 4.05 (6 ratings, reviews)
The battle for Normandy was the most complex & daring military operation in the history of modern warfare. Two years of intense, detailed planning reached its successful conclusion when the Allied forces took the beaches on D-Day. But the 76-day campaign that followed, the Allies' crucial bid for a toehold in western Europe, was one of the bloodiest of the war, & its true story has been concealed in myth. Step-by-step the reader is taken through the Normandy campaign from the earliest days after Dunkirk when Churchill first considered the idea of a cross-Channel invasion of France, to the Key battles that determined that outcome, with maps explaining clearly the strategy & logistics of each battle. This is military history at its most dramatic, with a cast of characters that includes Montgomery, Rommel, Patton, Bradley & Eisenhower. Decision in Normandy is destined to become the definitive account of a campaign Rommel described as "a terrible blood-letting" & whose outcome became the decisive turning point for the Allied victory.
