Books like Six Armies in Normandy by John Keegan


El 6 de junio de 1944, el Día D, ha quedado marcado en la historia como una de las fechas claves de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Un hito logístico y militar en el que participaron todos los ejércitos aliados y que supuso el principio del fin de la maquinaria militar alemana. El desembarco en las playas de Normandía fue un éxito casi perfecto, pero le siguieron tres meses de encarnizada lucha hasta que la defensa alemana colapsó y se pudo liberar París. Seis ejércitos en Normandía es un magistral relato de una de las campañas militares más relevantes de la segunda guerra mundial. John Keegan, uno de los más prestigiosos historiadores militares británicos, introduce al lector en los combates en los que se vieron implicados los seis ejércitos que participaron en la campaña, en las decisiones tácticas de los comandantes y en las experiencias traumáticas a las que se tuvieron que enfrentar los soldados.
