Eagles and bulldogs in Normandy, 1944

"This is the story of two Infantry Divisions during the first weeks of the Normandy campaign. With battle cries of '29 - Let's Go!' and '3rd Division - Drive On!' the American 29th and British 3rd fought their way on to Omaha and Sword beaches on D-Day and then inland towards their respective objectives - the major communication centres of St Lo and Caen." "Throughout this account of infantry combat, readers will be able to compare and contrast the leadership qualities of the various commanders and the tactics employed by the Americans, British and Germans; and they will surely marvel at the sheer courage of a generation that is rapidly passing away."--Jacket.
