With dramatic, driving power, John Keegan  describes the massed armies—American, Canadian, English, French, German, and  Polish—at successive stages of the invasion. As he details the strategies of the  military engagements, Keegan brilliantly shows how each of the armies reflected  its own nation's values and traditions. In a new introduction written especially  to commemorate the 50th anniversary of D-Day, he contemplates the ways the  events at the battle of Normandy still reverberate today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The best military historian of our generation.” –Tom Clancy\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“John  Keegan writes about war better than almost anyone in our century.” –The  Washington Post Book World\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Very dramatic… Very well done… a book which  conjures romance from some very hard fighting.” –A.
