The bold campaign to liberate Western Europe from Nazi tyranny was the outcome of years of close cooperation and meticulous planning by the Western Allies. Eleven months of vicious fighting followed the Allied landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944, against a determined and well-armed foe controlled by paranoid and brutal political masters. Military author Roy Conyers Nesbit has assembled a selection of over 300 photographs and illustrations that tell the story of the battle for Europe, from the shores of Normandy to the daring airborne assault on Arnhem, and from the bitter winter fighting in the forests of the Ardennes to the final sweep into the heartlands of Nazi Germany. The photographs are drawn from the British National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office), the US National Archives and the author's own collection, and are supplemented by a selection of colour paintings and posters from the National Archives and from contemporary leading aviation artists. Each photograph is supported by a detailed caption. These images of the battle for Europe and the final destruction of Hitler's 1,000-year Reich are underpinned by a concise narrative account of the campaigns that led eventually to victory in the West.
