Shortly after the establishment of the beachhead at Normandy, Allied troops found themselves unable to break through German defences and into the French countryside. This book tells the soldier's story of what it was like to be in that situation as author Mark Brando has interviewed more than 250 members of The 2nd Armored Division, a.k.a. Hell on Wheels ? the group that broke through only to find themselves in one of the most terrifying, confusing, and carnage-filled battles of World War II. 140 photographs
