With rare wartime photography, this WWII history presents an in-depth look at one of the most grueling and vital battles of the Normandy campaign.
After storming the beaches on D-Day, the US First Army labored to advance through the Norman bocage country in the west. The lethal struggle that developed there was a defining episode in the Normandy campaign, and this photographic history is a vivid introduction to it.
The Germans mounted a tenacious defense from the high hedgerows. But the Americans adapted their tactics and brought in special equipment including bulldozers and tanks with hedgerow cutters to force their way through. In spite of appalling losses, First Army overcame their tactical problems and ground their way to Saint-L.
Through a selection of over 150 carefully chosen and meticulously captioned wartime photographs, Simon Forty traces the course of the battle and gives the reader a graphic impression of the conditions, the terrain, and the experience of the troops.
