Book Synopsis
The U.S. forces that fought in Normandy during the summer of 1944 met a battle-hardened German enemy and a forbidding landscape of earthen hedgerows, sunken roads, and thick bushes and trees. American GIs lacked the combat experience of their opponents but made up for it with their ability to innovate, adapt, improvise, and experiment on the battlefield, finding ingenious ways to blow through hedgerows and slam the Germans with massive firepower. Their innovations helped win World War II and transformed the American way of war.
