Normandía 1944

The Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, and the 76 days of fierce fighting in France that followed, were the campaign that marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany. In this new story of D-Day and the battles in Normandy, James Holland, the leading exponent of the new generation of historians who are reinterpreting World War II, offers us a global vision that questions much of what we think we know about this campaign. Many previous accounts have ignored the scale and complexity of the Allied war effort, as well as the tactical, operational, and strategic limitations of German forces. From unpublished archives and testimonies ranging from rank-and-file soldiers to generals, bomber pilots, nurses and members of the Resistance, Holland gives us the epic account of the campaign that marked the beginning of the end of the war in Europe. Normandy 1944 is a story of struggle and overcoming, an account of D-Day and the Allied campaign in Normandy that integrates the operational, strategic and tactical levels in a work written in the masterful style that characterizes James Holland.
