The bold campaign to liberate Western Europe from Nazi tyranny was
the outcome of years of close cooperation and meticulous planning
by the Western Allies. Eleven months of vicious fighting followed
the Allied landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944, against a
determined and well-armed foe controlled by paranoid and brutal
political masters.
Military author Roy Conyers Nesbit has assembled a selection of
over 300 photographs and illustrations that tell the story of the
battle for Europe, from the shores of Normandy to the daring
airborne assault on Arnhem, and from the bitter winter fighting in
the forests of the Ardennes to the final sweep into the heartlands
of Nazi Germany.
The photographs are drawn from the British National Archives
(formerly the Public Record Office), the US National Archives and
the author's own collection, and are supplemented by a selection of
colour paintings and posters from the National Archives and from
contemporary leading aviation artists. Each photograph is supported
by a detailed caption.
These images of the battle for Europe and the final destruction
of Hitler's 1,000-year Reich are underpinned by a concise narrative
account of the campaigns that led eventually to victory in the
West.
