　　“Unquestionably emerges as the most valuable book on Jonestown to date . . . Every piece of the puzzle is here.”
　　—David Evanier, National Review
　　“An extraordinary inquiry into the individual pathology of Jim Jones . . . To assemble this portrait obviously required staggering research. The writing is sensitive and lucid. The result is a document which will illumine a dark corner of our era.”
　　—Daniel Schorr

The Battle of Normandy was the greatest offensive campaign the
world had ever seen. Millions of soldiers struggling for the
control of Europe were thrust onto the front lines of a massive war
unlike any experienced in history. But this greatest of clashes
would prove to be the crucible in which the outcome of World War II
would be decided. 
　　It began on D-Day. June 6, 1944-the day that the Allied Forces
launched Operation Overlord: the great crusade to free Europe from
the iron grip of Nazi Germany. But only when the troops were ashore
did the real battle begin. 
　　With Nazi defenders marshaling to stop the invaders, Hitler and
his generals schemed to counterattack. Tightly constricted hedgerow
country and bitter German resistance held the Allied advance to a
crawl. Suddenly the Allies broke through and trapped the Nazi
armies. Yet within weeks of this stunning disaster, the Germans
smashed the most dangerous Allied offensive yet. 
　　How was this possible? In Normandy Crucible, noted author John
Prados offers a penetrating account that reframes the Normandy
breakout to answer that question. For the first time he melds
intelligence into the combat narrative. Shifting between battle
action and command decisions on both sides, Normandy Crucible shows
in fascinating detail how this campaign molded the climactic battle
for Europe.
