520 8  Historian John Buckley offers a radical reappraisal of 
       Great Britain's fighting forces during World War Two, 
       challenging the common belief that the British Army was no
       match for the forces of Hitler's Germany. Following 
       Britain's military commanders and troops across the 
       battlefields of Europe, from D-Day to VE-Day, from the 
       Normandy beaches to Arnhem and the Rhine, and, ultimately,
       to the Baltic, Buckley's provocative history demonstrates 
       that the British Army was more than a match for the 
       vaunted Nazi war machine. This fascinating revisionist 
       study of the campaign to liberate Northern Europe in the 
       war's final years features a large cast of colorful 
       unknowns and grand historical personages alike, including 
       Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery and the prime 
       minister, Sir Winston Churchill. By integrating detailed 
       military history with personal accounts, it evokes the 
       vivid reality of men at war while putting long-held 
       misconceptions finally to rest"
