Book Description
The popular perception of the performance of British armour in the Normandy campaign of 1944 is one of failure and frustration. Despite overwhelming superiority in numbers, Montgomery's repeated efforts to employ his armour in an offensive manner ended in a disappointing stalemate.

Book Description
The story behind D-Day begins in 1939 when Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, attacked Poland and ignited World War Two. The following year, the Germans occupied France and Western Europe and launched a vicious air war against Britain. In 1941, they invaded the Soviet Union. Seemingly unstoppable, the Nazis now held virtually all of Europe. They imposed a ruthless system of control and unleashed the horror of the Holocaust. However, by 1943, the tide had begun to turn in favor of the Allies, the forces opposed to Germany. In the east, despite huge losses, the Soviets began to force the Germans back.

Book Description
With essays from leading names in military history, this new book re-examines the crucial issues and debates of the D-Day campaign. It tackles a range of core topics, placing them in their current historiographical context, to present new and sometimes revisionist interpretations of key issues, such as the image of the Allied armies compared with the Germans, the role of air power, and the lessons learned by the military from their operations. As the Second World War is increasingly becoming a field of revisionism, this book sits squarely within growing debates, shedding new light on topics and bringing current thinking from our leading military and strategic historians to a wider audience. This book will be of great interest to students of the Second World War, and of military and strategic studies in general.

Book Description
Lieutenant-General Hans Speidel’s Invasion 1944 tells the story, from the German viewpoint, of one of the most critical periods of World War II. Indeed, to most Americans the summer months of 1944, highlighted by the battles on the Normandy beaches, represent the climax of the world convulsion. Every detail of this epic struggle is today of interest not only to those Americans who participated personally in the battles on the beaches and in the Normandy countryside, but to that still greater number who sweated and bled in Italy, on South Pacific isles, or in the Philippines, or were forced to stay at home. For the Norman beaches have now become a keystone in the arch of American military tradition—worthy to stand alongside Chancellorsville, Appomattox, Château-Thierry and the Meuse-Argonne. Our curiosity, therefore, cannot but be piqued as to what went on in the Château La Roche Guyon, the headquarters of the German Army Group opposing the Allied Normandy armies, as, day by day, American and British pressure brought Hitler’s doom nearer. Invasion is by no means merely military history, a record of the estimates and orders of the German Command during the Normandy struggle. This book tells a double story. The battles are the background, while the foreground is dominated by the narrative of another climactic struggle, that between the commander of the Army Group, Erwin Rommel, “the Desert Fox,” and his overlord Adolf Hitler. “A notable contribution to the...literature on the Normandy campaign. The author was Chief of Staff successively to Rommel, Kluge and Model.... What he has to say about the German defeat is authoritative and of high interest.”—New York Herald Tribune Book Review

Book Description
A military intelligence expert examines the most formative battle of World War II. The Battle of Normandy was the greatest offensive campaign the world had ever seen. Millions of soldiers battling for control of Europe were thrust onto the front lines of a massive war unlike any experienced in history. But the greatest of clashes would prove to be the crucible in which the outcome of World War II would be decided. Author John Prados tells the story of how and why the tactics and battle plans of Normandy proved so formative, and reconstructs the climactic Allied Normandy breakout from both sides of the battle lines.

Book Description
The U.S. Army supply organization for the Normandy Invasion, although very impressive, should have done a better job in the summer of 1944. The supply system suffered from several serious shortcomings which should have been avoided. The purpose of this work is to examine an aspect of military history which, as many military historians have pointed out, has received little attention. As the Gulf War demonstrated, logistics, the supplying of armies, is crucial to achieving victory.
