Editorial Reviews
New York Times Book Review
"There is not much doubt that [The Duel for France] will find a wide audience."

Book Description
A classic, richly textured account of the decisive battle for France during World War II that "accentuates the big picture and the sweeping tide of battle"
-New York Times Book Review

For the Allies, D-Day was only the beginning. Martin Blumenson never forgets that the Allies' spectacular dash from their Normandy beachhead to the German border in the summer of 1944 was accomplished by men of flesh and blood-and led by officers with human doubts, limitations, and determination. He shows us how war is conducted, makes us share the pressures and responsibilities of the commanders, and unforgettably opens us to the hopes and fears of the men who constantly faced the imminence of death. Here are the familiar figures, but revealed in new perspective-Eisenhower, Montgomery, Bradley, Patton, Rommel. This is a masterly and dramatic military narrative in the great tradition-and a moving human record of a turning point in history.
