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. They destroyed vital railways, ambushed convoys and tied down large numbers of German troops in security patrols. Many attacks were spearheaded by British and American special forces, the SAS and US 'Jedburgh teams' (ancestors of the 'Green Berets'). German reaction to their assaults was brutal in the extreme. SS units were unleashed on civilian populations and the Vichy French milice made this a French civil war. Both sides executed prisoners as a matter of routine. It is a sanguinary tale that exposes the limits as well as the potential of elite military units and civilian resistance movements.
