Put simply, this book provides a detailed overview of the battles
that make up the Cotentin Peninsula Campaign, an important part of
the invasion of Normandy. While historians often cite specific
examples of the fighting that took place on the peninsula, most
treat the battles as individual events or singular parts of the
overall Normandy campaign. In this work, Bradham takes a different
approach, focusing on the unique set of battles that had to be
fought before the Allies could call their foothold on Normandy
secure. Bradham not only discusses the strategy used to secure the
peninsula, but also gives detailed accounts of the major battles
and tactical doctrine that was developed to fight them. Along the
way he provides biographical information on the main actors,
explaining how key personality traits along with personal
relationships influenced their conduct while in battle. In doing
so, the author outlines the effect of the campaign on the overall
conduct of the war while discussing the lessons learned.
