商品簡介
During WW II, Dr. Sussna (Professor of Law Emeritus, Baruch College, City University of New York) served as a sailor on Landing Ship Tank 1012 which participated in Operation Dragoon on August 15, 1944, a little-known Allied invasion of the French Riviera. Here, he draws on previously unpublished American, British, French, and German diaries, letters, and interviews to provide a panoramic history of the operation and related events in France, the United State, the Mediterranean, and Germany from 1940 to 1945. This book includes an abundance of provocative material about four Allied invasions in the Mediterranean. Dr. Sussna relates this material to current military intelligence, logistic, and diplomatic problems facing Americans and their Allies. The book includes over 50 b&w historical photos and maps, 50 pages of notes, about 80 pages of primary source documents, an extensive bibliography with comments, and a glossary of acronyms and other terms.
