Including fascinating details and anecdotes, he expertly chronicles the individual successes and setbacks of six separate national armies - American, Canadian, English, German, Polish, and French - as they struggle for control. Keegan clearly depicts each nation's values and their approach to war with unique insight and intelligence.
Using writings and eyewitness accounts, he vividly captures the feelings of military participants, from key leaders to the troops in the field. Robert Sevra's skillful narration takes the listener through the planning sessions onto the battlefield, portraying the fear and honor warriors universally share. Six Armies in Normandy is a memorable must-listen for anyone who enjoys human drama.
