A highly readable text by an expert historian combines with special features on winning weapons and decisive battles to bring alive the bitter fighting between the Allies and the German Army.

On 6th June 1944 - D-Day - the Allies launched Operation Overlord against the Germans in Western Europe. The greatest amphibious assault yet known in the history of warfare began landing on the Normandy coast in a complete tactical surprise. By nightfall five Allied divisions were ashore and a firm toehold established on the beaches. But the great triumph of D-Day and the Allied landings was soon to deteriorate into grim and bloody fighting as the Allied advance was reduced to a crawl by the German Army in the bocage of Normandy. The bocage is the name the French give to the checker-board of small fields boxed by hedgerows and sunken lanes that characterises so much of the Normandy landscape. A German Army ambush caused many Allied casualties.

With 400 illustrations including rare archive material and authentic reconstructions, this book provides a compelling account of this decisive campaign in the battle for Europe in the Second World War.
