This is a comprehensive account of the behind-the-lines operations that preceded and supported the D-Day landings and the breakout from Normandy. The French resistance played a key role in undermining German resistance during the liberation of France in 1944.

It is a sanguinary tale that exposes the limits as well as the potential of elite military units and civilian resistance movements.
