Description

Forgotten Victory is the story of ';Operation Dragoon,' the Allied invasion of the South of France on August 15, 1944.

It was, in effect, the second D-Day, launched two months after ';Overlord,' the Allied invasion of Normandy.

As such, it has often been overshadowed by its predecessor, but it significance cannot be underestimated.

Forgotten Victory provides for the first time a complete overview of the liberation of the South of Francefrom strategic decisions made from the Allied and German high commands to the intelligence war waged by Allied code-breakers; from the German defeat of French resistance forces on the Vergers to the exploits of individual OSS agents on the ground as they strove to keep pace with a fast-moving battlefield.

This is the story of the Allies inflicting on the Germany Army a Blitzkrieg-style defeat, expunging the lingering memories of the catastrophe of 1940.
