ASSAULT DIVISION (Pbk)

A history of the 3rd Division from the invasion of Normandy to the surrender of Germany. This book, first published in 1947 and therefore not reliant on second-hand sources, details the full story of one Division, from its preparations for the Normandy landings through to the reduction of the city of Bremen and the surrender of Germany. The author, who served in the Division, is able to describe events from the point of view of the fighting man. This is a true classic of military writing and a book of major importance.
