Here is the crucial summer of 1944 as seen by both sides, from
the British spy, code-named “Garbo,” who successfully misled the
Nazis about the time and place of the D-day landings, to the poor
planning for action after the assault that forced the allies to
fight for nine weeks “field to field, hedgerow to hedgerow.” Here
too are the questionable command decisions of Montgomery,
Eisenhower, and Bradley, the insatiable ego of Patton. Yet,
fighting in some of the most miserable conditions of the war, the
allied soldiers used ingenuity, resilience, and raw courage to
drive the enemy from France in what John Keegan describes as “the
biggest disaster to hit the German army in the course of the war.”
Normandy is an inspiring tribute to the common fighting men of five
nations who won the pivotal campaign that lead to peace and
freedom.
