Publisher's Note Picking up where the author's D-Day left off, opens up on June 7, 1944, and follows the Allied assault on Hitler's war machine--from the beaches of Normandy through the liberation of Paris, and from the near-miraculous German recovery through the Battle of the Bulge--and ending in victory on May 7, 1945 with the fall of Berlin. Read by Cotter Smith.
