His detailed and impeccably researched analysis of what actually happened on the battlefield portrays a flexible, innovative army that made a major, and successful, contribution to the defeat of the German forces in just seventy-six days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChallenging both existing interpretations of the campaign and current approaches to military history, Copp examines the Battle of Normandy, tracking the soldiers over the battlefield terrain and providing an account of each operation carried out by the Canadian army. In so doing, he illustrates the valour, skill, and commitment of the Allied citizen-soldier in the face of a well-entrenched and well-equipped enemy army.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition of Copp's best-selling, award-winning history includes a new introduction that examines the strategic background of the Battle of Normandy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Copp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442626550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442626553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.00w x 1.01d","brand":"Terry Copp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935077302527,"sku":"9781442626553","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_77902e2a-a0a6-4a47-87df-42151f54ddd6.jpg?v=1681417717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fields-of-fire-terry-copp-9781442626553","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
