Kevin Wraight: Morning, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Morning by Kevin Wraight is a compelling exploration of the military and strategic significance ¿of France during World War II. This richly detailed narrative takes readers through the pivotal ¿moments of the war, from the German Blitzkrieg and the evacuation at Dunkirk to the D-Day ¿landings and the liberation of France by the Allies. ¿ In part one, Fall Gelb, Kevin offers a critical examination of the French and British military ¿strategies, highlighting the failures of outdated tactics, the ineffective reliance on the Maginot ¿Line, and the lack of Allied coordination against the swift and decisive German Panzer ¿divisions.¿ In part two, Overlord, just as in part one an in-depth study is made of the opposing forces, ¿tactics and strategies giving an impartial history of events. The book also delves into the ¿political and social factors that contributed to the French defeat, such as the pacifist mindset ¿after World War I and the disunity among the Allies. Kevin contrasts the French and British ¿approaches with the German strategies that emphasised speed, surprise, and innovation. ¿ Morning is not just a non-fictional retelling but a thought-provoking analysis that emphasises ¿the lessons learned from two of the most important campaigns in one of history's most ¿significant conflicts.
