Opis

"Utah Beach to Cherbourg," thirteenth in the series called American Forces in Action, is the last of three narratives dealing with U.S. military operations in Normandy. Intended as a companion volume to "Omaha Beachhead," the present study rounds out the account of the landings at corps level and below and relates the course of VII Corps combat operations which resulted in the capture of Cherbourg on 27 June 1944. The third volume, "St-Lo," relates the operations of a single corps in the First Army's offensive during the first three weeks in July, designed to deepen the lodgment area preparatory to the great breakthrough from Normandy. "Utah Beach to Cherbourg" is one of a series of fourteen studies of World War II operations originally published by the War Department's Historical Division and now returned to print as part of the Army's commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of that momentous clash of arms. These volumes, prepared by professional historians shortly after the events described, provide a concise summary of some of the major campaigns and battles fought by American soldiers.
