Produktbeschreibung

"Surely one of the best works in regard to the Normandy invasion . . . truly a vital contribution to World War II literature." -Lt. Colonel Robert A. Lynn, Florida Guard Through thoughtfully constructed research, Bradham vividly presents the battle for Normandy's Cotentin Peninsula-one of the most important and yet understudied operations of World War II. 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 in order for the Allies to secure their foothold on Normandy. 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.
