The March to Victory

Travelers to Europe who have a keen interest in the Allied effort to defeat Nazi Germany during World War II will find they need only one guide - the newest edition of The March to Victory: A Guide to World War II Battle and Battlefields from London to the Rhine.
All of the tours in The March to Victory have been arranged in geographical order, beginning in England, moving on to France, then pushing north to the Netherlands, and proceeding to the Rhineland in western Germany. Each chapter begins with an overview of a particular battle, which provides the context for the tour that follows. Included in each tour section are descriptions of the battlefields, relics still remaining at battlefield sites, and the exploits of particular individuals and units.
The March to Victory, includes references to many new memorials and monuments that have been dedicated since 1984. In addition, the authors have expanded the museum list and updated the bibliography.
This useful and fascinating guide will appeal to travelers, veterans, students of military history, and all others who wish to learn more about the history of World War II.
