This classic text describes the build-up of the invasion of Europe, and the scenes at beach-head and in the bocage of Normandy. It also discusses the disputes among the Allies, the Anglo-American difficulties over Grand strategy, and the friction between Hitler and his generals which culminated in the plot of July 20th 1944, as well as the pincer movements of the Russians and the Anglo-Amerian forces which brought Europe to victory.

Fra en annen annonse på nett:

"Wilmot died relatively young in an aircrash in 1954, which makes signed copies of this, his most important work, very difficult to find. He reported for the ABC and BBC during the war; John Keegan has stated that Wilmot effectively invented the modern method of writing contemporary military history'."
