Splendid Account
This has been a difficult book to find and was pleased that Casemate decided to reprint one of the best accounts of the fight at La Fiere. Robert Murphy succeeded with writing in a clear and direct style. Very few things in life are as black and white as they were on June 6th. This is one of the greatest stories of the most vicious firefight during the Normandy invasion and is still relatively obscured or given brief mention in most D-Day accounts. Nordyke gives a solid account but Murphy manages to pull together details and provides the definitive story. Bless you Bob Murphy. They broke the mold.
la Fiere Bridge
Excellent book. Anyone who is well read in D Day, knows about the epic battle at la Fiere Bridge. This book gets into the details and the specifics personal accounts.
Great pics
WW II battle
I found this account of the battle very well done. I found the facts concerning this battle for a bridge very interesting, especially as I personaly know three of the soilders who were in the battle.
Not just your average war story
An incredible story of heroism and accomplishment which happens to be true. The book is very well written and presents troop movements, strategy and the details of battle in a highly readable and enjoyable manner. It proves what the American soldier is capable of in the most adverse circumstances. A very interesting addition to all of the books written about the Normandy invasion.
