McKee tracks the five weeks of bitter fighting that took place before Caen, bombed into rubble, fell to the Allies on July 9. His gripping narrative captures the brilliance, bluff, and blunder of offensive and counteroffensive, with overwhelming airpower stymied by tenacious ground defense as Allied and German forces pursued elusive victory.
