One-of-a-kind retelling of the Normandy campaign Places the 1944
battle for France in its social, economic, scientific, and
technological context
GI Ingenuity is in large part an old-fashioned combat narrative,
with mayhem and mass slaughter at center stage. But the book goes
farther, combining military history with the history of science,
technology, and culture to show how the American soldier
improvised, innovated, and adapted on the battlefield. Among the
improvisations and technologies covered are tanks equipped with
hedgerow cutters, the coordination of air and ground attacks, and
the use of radios and aircraft to direct artillery fire--all of
which contributed to American success on D-Day and afterwards.
