Normandy Crucible: The Decisive Battle that Shaped World War II in Europe(ISBN=9780451233837) epub 下载 pdf 网盘 2025 mobi 在线 免费

The Battle of

Normandy was the greatest offensive campaign the world had ever

seen. Millions of soldiers struggling for the control of Europe

were thrust onto the front lines of a massive war unlike any

experienced in history. But this greatest of clashes would prove to

be the crucible in which the outcome of World War II would be

decided.

It began on D-Day. June 6, 1944-the day that the Allied Forces

launched Operation Overlord: the great crusade to free Europe from

the iron grip of Nazi Germany. But only when the troops were ashore

did the real battle begin.

With Nazi defenders marshaling to stop the invaders, Hitler and his

generals schemed to counterattack. Tightly constricted hedgerow

country and bitter German resistance held the Allied advance to a

crawl. Suddenly the Allies broke through and trapped the Nazi

armies. Yet within weeks of this stunning disaster, the Germans

smashed the most dangerous Allied offensive yet.

How was this possible? In Normandy Crucible, noted author

John Prados offers a penetrating account that reframes the Normandy

breakout to answer that question. For the first time he melds

intelligence into the combat narrative. Shifting between battle

action and command decisions on both sides, Normandy

Crucible shows in fascinating detail how this campaign molded

the climactic battle for Europe.
