The US armed forces were responsible for many tactical innovations
during the years 1941-5, but in no field was US mastery more
complete than amphibious warfare. The US armed forces pioneered
amphibious warfare in the Pacific and later in the Mediterranean
but it was against Fortress Europe that the most famous and the
most successful amphibious assault took place. On D-Day the Allies
invaded German-held Normandy in a pre-dawn amphibious assault by
American, British and Canadian forces. The US had perfected the
special equipment and tactics for this extraordinarily difficult
and risky form of warfare and despite large casualties during the
beach assaults they were ultimately successful. This book explains,
in accessible terms, the many problems associated with amphibious
warfare and how they were overcome in the Mediterranean and
European Theaters, and is illustrated with photographs, maps,
diagrams and colour plates that support the explanations and bring
the whole complex process to life.
