Synopses & Reviews
From Europe to the Pacific, here is a collection of 50 gripping accounts of courage on land, sea, and in the air from both the Allied and Axis points of view. It includes moving accounts of the U.S. Rangers storming Normandy in 1944: female French, British, and American agents operating alongside Resistance workers in German-occupied Europe: and the American airmen who fought for the Chinese against invading Japanese forces. Illustrated with 200 black-and-white photographs and maps, many of them rare.
