Having decisively gained a foothold in Europe, the Americans fought their way through France to finally liberate Paris in August 1944. Portrayed from both the Allied and German perspective, here is the story of that momentous event, and the army's subsequent push to the frontiers of Germany. Fifteen facsimile maps trace the Americans' progress through France, as they capitalized on the successes of D-day, and the book features dozens of black and white photographs, glossaries, and other supplemental information.
