The 2nd Battalion of the Essex Regiment, originally part of the 25th Infantry Brigade, was then attached to the 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division and served with the BEF in France in 1940. The battalion was successfully evacuated from Dunkirk. Back in Britain, the battalion became part of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade, training intensively for the eventual D-day invasion. The battalion landed on Gold Beach in Normandy and quickly moved inland. Involved in the taking of Le Havre, members of the battalion discovered the payroll of the German city garrison in the town's hospital basement. They fought in the battle for the shattered and fiercely contested city of Caen, serving again with the 50th Division and briefly the 59th Division. The battalion then joined the 49th Division for the remainder of the war, serving chiefly with the First Canadian Army, and taking part in the Second Battle of Arnhem. This excellent history is profusely illustrated with battle photographs and contains a Roll of Honour.

The Normandy landings of 6 June 1944, across five sectors of the French coast - Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword - constituted the largest amphibious invasion in history. This study analyses in depth the preparations and implementation of the D-Day landing on Gold Beach by XXX Corps. Historians have tended to dismiss the landing on Gold Beach as straightforward but the evidence points to a different reality. Armour supported the infantry landing and prior bombing was intended to weaken German defences; however, the bulk of the bombing landed too far inland, and many craft foundered in difficult conditions at sea. It was the tenacity of the assault units and the flexibility of the follow up units which enabled the Gold landing to secure the right flank of the British Army in Normandy. Using detailed primary evidence from The National Archives and the Imperial War Museum, this volume provides a substantial assessment of the background to the landing on Gold, and analyses the events of D-Day in the wider context of the Normandy Campaign.

Historian John Buckley offers a radical reappraisal of Great Britain’s fighting forces during World War Two, challenging the common belief that the British Army was no match for the forces of Hitler’s Germany. Following Britain’s military commanders and troops across the battlefields of Europe, from D-Day to VE-Day, from the Normandy beaches to Arnhem and the Rhine, and, ultimately, to the Baltic, Buckley’s provocative history demonstrates that the British Army was more than a match for the vaunted Nazi war machine.div /DIVdivThis fascinating revisionist study of the campaign to liberate Northern Europe in the war’s final years features a large cast of colorful unknowns and grand historical personages alike, including Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery and the prime minister, Sir Winston Churchill. By integrating detailed military history with personal accounts, it evokes the vivid reality of men at war while putting long-held misconceptions finally to rest./DIV
