| Opis w j. angielskim: While American infantry slogged its way through the hedgerows of western Normandy in July 1944, the British were waging a largely armored campaign to the east near Caen. Planned to have been seized on D-Day, Caen remained contested on July 18, when Bernard Montgomery launched Operation Goodwood, whose exact purpose is still debated--either to draw Germans away from the American sector or to break out to Falaise. In one of the largest armored battles in their history, the British lost almost one-third of their tank strength in Normandy in exchange for a gain of only seven miles. -Comprehensive retelling of the controversial British and Canadian operation near Caen -Told from both the British and German perspectives -Heavily illustrated with maps and photos, including detailed aerial reconnaissance photos taken during the battle About the Author: Ian Daglish, a graduate of Cambridge, has written extensively about the Normandy campaign, including Operation Bluecoat (978-0-85052-912-8) and Operation Epsom (978-1-84415-562-0).
