Historian John Buckley offers a radical reappraisal of Great
Britain's fighting forces during World War Two, challenging the
common belief that the British Army was no match for the forces of
Hitler's Germany. Following Britain's military commanders and
troops across the battlefields of Europe, from D-Day to VE-Day,
from the Normandy beaches to Arnhem and the Rhine, and, ultimately,
to the Baltic, Buckley's provocative history demonstrates that the
British Army was more than a match for the vaunted Nazi war
machine. This fascinating revisionist study of the campaign to
liberate Northern Europe in the war's final years features a large
cast of colorful unknowns and grand historical personages alike,
including Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery and the prime
minister, Sir Winston Churchill. By integrating detailed military
history with personal accounts, it evokes the vivid reality of men
at war while putting long-held misconceptions finally to rest.
