More about the book

"How the British and Canadian armed forces fought their way through Normandy. How an army actually operates in war and what it was like for those involved. Essential reading for those who wish to understand the mechanics of battle. How does an Army care for its wounded? How do combat engineers cross obstacles? How do tanks fight? How do Air and Naval Forces support the Army? To understand what makes an Army tick you must also understand its people. Explanations of tactics and techniques are illustrated with excellent photographs and high quality maps and also effectively combined with relevant accounts from the combatants themselves. Dramatic stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things"--Provided by publisher.
