内容説明
Analyzing the war in Europe from D-Day to V-E Day, this text reconsiders the important military and political questions relating to the final year of World War II. The essays in the book attack these issues from strategic, operational, tactical and human perspectives, each section containing commentary from experts in the field. The volume opens with assessments of Roosevelt and Churchill's strategies, then goes on to offer analyses of aspects of the operational level of warfare. In one essay, David Eisenhower reconsiders the "broad front" strategy employed by his grandfather as Supreme Allied Commander of Europe. Other essays examine such issues as the strategic bombing campaign, Germany's defensive efforts, the role that considerations of military geography played in military operations in the Netherlands (with special attention to "market-garden), and the Canadian operations to clear the "long left flank" of the Allies and to open the Scheldt estuary. The book concludes with an examination of the human dimension of warfare.
Essayists describe events during the battles against the Germans in the Ardennes and on Walcheren Island, as well as the perspectives of Dutch non-combatants as they adapted to liberation.
