Review
"Normandy to Victory" is a fascinating book, filled with detail and immensely useful to anyone trying to understand the Allied campaign in Northern Europe during World War II. John T. Greenwood has done an excellent job of editing the diary as well as the terms, military equipment and obscure references that the general reader might not understand. -- J. W. Thacker "Bowling Green Daily News"
Product Description
The war diary of General Courtney Hicks Hodges begins on June 2, 1944, as Hodges and the First U.S. Army prepare for the Allied invasion of France. Hodges' aides Major William C. Sylvan and Captain Francis G. Smith Jr. recorded daily entries, which Hodges reviewed and approved. The diary follows Hodges and the First Army through savage European combat until the German surrender in May 1945. Edited and annotated by John T. Greenwood, "Normandy to Victory" makes a classic military document widely available to the public for the first time.
