A compelling reassessment of the most famous<br />
battle in modern history.<br />
The battle of Normandy is legendary for being the Allied Force’s fi nest<br />
hour, but acclaimed historian John Prados argues that it was also the<br />
testing ground for new combat tactics and logistical techniques that<br />
would go on to decide the outcome of WWII. Shifting between battle<br />
action and command decisions on both sides, Normandy Crucible<br />
lucidly illustrates how this campaign molded the climactic battle for<br />
Europe.<br />
“Prados...tells us the story we do not know.”<br />
