The Allied Drive From Normandy

It took the Allies twelve momentous months from June 1944 to May 1945 to break out of their D-Day beachheads, drive on through occupied Europe and into the heart of Germany. General Dwight D Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander, called the campaign the Great Crusade, and with good reason. This was an arduous, unrelenting offensive, fought by a vast army of American, British, Canadian, French and Polish troops against an enemy who was strong and resourceful even when threatened with defeat.

'Road To Berlin' is a remarkable collection of over 275 photographs as a pictorial record of these tumultuous events. They are extensively captioned and accompanied by a concise history of events. All the significant actions and turning points are covered: everything from the bitter fighting in the Normandy bocage and around Caen to the liberation of Paris and the failure of the Arnhem operation; from the Germans' determined Ardennes offensive to the Allies' triumphant crossing of the River Rhine.

This is a graphic account of the last year of the war in Europe. Above all, it is also the story of the five million men who were involved in this great and noble undertaking.
