Description

The Battle for Caen: A Turning Point in World War II. Alexander McKee's gripping account of the epic battle that shaped the Normandy campaign. Written by a veteran of the campaign, this book brings to life the harrowing struggle between elite troops from the British, Canadian, and German forces, as they clashed house by house, hedge by hedge, beneath massive air bombardments. Using over sixty-five eye-witness accounts from both sides, McKee reconstructs the struggle to secure the Allied position in Western Europe. From the storming of the beaches on D-Day to the decisive Battle of the Falaise pocket, this book provides fascinating detail on how the conflict at Caen influenced the entire campaign.
