*Covers the D-Day landings, the Normandy campaign, and the invasion of southern France: The second volume of this important contribution to the history of World War II picks up with the final preparations for D-Day and follows the soldiers who were introduced in Volume One--infantrymen, Rangers, paratroopers, glider pilots and crews, artillerymen, tankers, fighter and bomber pilots, and rear-echelon support troops--as they invade France on June 6, 1944, and slog their way inland. Through these brave men, the Kaufmanns paint a vivid and complete portrait of the American GI at war.
