Six armies in Normandy - John Keegan

Acclaimed military historian John Keegan's investigation
into World War II and the Normandy Invasion

The armies of six
nations met on the battlefields of Normandy in what was to be the greatest
Allied achievement of World War II. With dramatic, driving power, John Keegan
describes the massed armies-American, Canadian, English, French, German, and
Polish-at successive stages of the invasion. As he details the strategies of the
military engagements, Keegan brilliantly shows how each of the armies reflected
its own nation's values and traditions. In a new introduction written especially
to commemorate the 50th anniversary of D-Day, he contemplates the ways the
events at the battle of Normandy still reverberate today.
