Robin Neillands' new history of the Battle of Normandy (Cassell, 2002) was hailed by the SUNDAY TIMES as one of the best military history books of the year. This continues the story from the breakout from Normandy to the arrival of the Allied armies on the Rhine at the beginning of 1945. The story is dominated by two great battles: the Allied airborne offensive into Holland that ended in bitter failure at Arnhem, and Hitler's last great offensive in the Ardennes that December, the 'Battle of the Bulge'. This book ends where Robin's previous book THE CONQUEST OF THE REICH begins, thus forming a trilogy that takes us from the Normandy landings to the fall of Berlin.

Weidenfeld &Nicholson

D-Day 1944, Voices from Normandy is an oral history of D-Day where the stories of that long and violent day on the Calvados Coast of Normandy are told in the words of the men who were there: Americans, British, Canadians, French and German. Follow these men ashore, up the beach, and into the battle for Normandy.
The men who landed on UTAH and OMAHA beach, cracked the Atlantic Wall at Arromanches, parachuted into Carantan or Ste Mere Eglise, or stormed Pegasus Bridge and the Merville battery, tell the reader what it was like to be there, in the midst of the most important single battle of World War II. The view from landing ship, tank turret, parachute harness or infantry fox hole has never been better told than in the pages of this absorbing book.

Grant made famous the expression "unconditional surrender," which is how most of his battles ended - for his opponents. A hard-drinking soldier in a hard-drinking army, he led the Federal armies to victory, forcing Robert E Lee to surrender the main Confederate army in 1865. Robin Neillands' concise biography takes us from Grant's disastrous pre-war record to his sudden emergence as a general of genius. This is a study of an uncommon commander in a time of great peril. (Note: does not cover his years after the Civil War and his term as president).This book is being published in April 2004 in the UK by Weidenfeld &amp; Nicolson Military, a division of Cassell, but as a trade paperback.
