Battle for Mortain
From the very First page, the American infantryman is the HERO of this magnificent account of men at War. For Five Days in August 1944, the Fate of the Allied Campaign in Normandy hinged on the refusal of a relative Handful of men to Give up the tiny village of Mortain Despite a massive German Counterattack there. Yet the History Books are mostly silent about this momentous Battle. It contradicts the Satisfying Picture of an Allied juggernaut Rolling effortlessly from victory to Victory across France.
