forces fighting in western France in the summer of 1944."

studies, especially in regards to the Falaise Gap. Given that this
book is written from predominantly German sources, it will probably
cause you to wonder about the picture you had formed previously of
the fighting from D-Day through the balance of 1944...interesting
