Worth it for the photographs alone! - Rated
The specialist publisher After the Battle is perhaps better known to many for its excellent quarterly magazine featuring the many splendid then and now photographs and the superb range of fascinating military history related articles. One should not however forget that they also publish many excellent hard back volumes too and their latest publication is no exception.
Although the allied armies successfully landed on the beaches of Normandy in the Summer of 1944, the fight did not end there, as the enemy forces fought on with the aim of containing the bridgehead until a counter-attack could be launched. However after a further two months of hard fighting, an attempted counter-attack in the early August failed and Hitler had no alternative but to at last admit that his army was now on the road to defeat!
The incredible story behind Ruckmarsch begins here, and is told by the author in the familiar After the Battle then and now style. No less than 1000 splendid photographs support the excellent text covering the period when the German army retreated across France and lost almost 300,000 men in the process.
The author made some incredible discoveries during his extensive research in preparation for this excellent volume. I am sure you will make many discoveries too as you thumb through the numerous pages and marvel at the magnificent collection of photographs.
This volume is a masterpiece, it is a must buy for the serious military historian, researcher and battlefield guide and a must read for anyone with the slightest interest in the Second World War.
Thank you After the Battle for another wonderful book.
