This captivating work, richly documented with archives and mostly unpublished testimonies, provides a complete picture of the Liberation of France, day by day, region by region. It reveals the scale of the fighting in Normandy and the capital role played by British and Canadian divisions, which pinned down the majority of the panzer divisions present in France, thus facilitating the victorious breakthrough of the American army. The work also highlights the significant contribution of the Resistance and French divisions in liberating 60% of French territory, as well as the fierce fighting that continued through the autumn of 1944 and the winter of 1944-1945 on the forgotten fronts of the Atlantic and the Western Alps.
