| 520 | 8 | |a From lightning-fast commando raids to chaotic tank battles, from fierce aerial combat to massive infantry assaults, this masterfully told tale brings to life the pivotal campaign that proved Hitler could be beaten and that paved the way for the Normandy landings and victory on the battlefields of Europe. Bristling with rapid-fire action, gripping suspense, and behind-the-scenes intrigue, Meeting the Fox creates an unforgettable portrait of the determination, sacrifice, and heroism that led to the first great Allied victory of World War II | |
| 520 | 8 | |a Meeting the Fox tells the dramatic, but now almost forgotten, story of the first Americans to confront Hitler's war machine in battle. It takes you from the huge armada that landed more than 100,000 troops along the African coast, through bitter defeats in the dry hills of Tunisia, and on to a stunning victory after six months of savage fighting on land, on the sea, and in the air | |
| 520 | 8 | |a Peppered with riveting firsthand accounts from front-line Gls, this fast-paced chronicle reveals how a hastily assembled army of citizen soldiers transformed itself into a devastatingly effective fighting force on the deadly proving ground of Tunisia. It tells how peacetime battlefield tactics were cast aside in the light of wartime reality, analyzes the successes and blunders of a talented but previously untested officer corps, and examines the often prickly relationships among American, British, and French commanders | |
