The Normandy Campaign 1944 by John Buckley (9780415369312)

Description - The Normandy Campaign 1944 by John Buckley

With essays on key aspects of the Normandy campaign from leading names in military history, this book re-examines crucial issues and debates of D-Day and the Normandy campaign. It tackles a range of controversial topics, placing them in their current historiographical context, and delivers new and sometimes revisionist interpretations of key issues, such as the image of the Allied armies compared with the Germans, the role of air power, and the lessons learned by the military from the campaign. As the Second World War is increasingly becoming a field of revisionism, this book will sit squarely within such growing debates, shedding new light on topics and bringing current thinking from leading military and strategic historians to a wider audience. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of military and strategic studies.
