The authors recognize Falaise as a hard-fought and terribly significant victory for the Allies, which runs contrary to most assessments of the Normandy battle. The Whitakers have always generated controversy with their books, and they prove that the German army -- far from escaping through what is known as the Falaise Gap -- were actually routed in Normandy. And the Canadians were there.

By the grim winter of 1944 the War was clearly won, yet it took six agonizing weeks for a million Allied men to conquer the tiny tract of the Rhineland. That battle claimed a total of 117,000 casualties. The aim of this book is to provide an account of the battle and to explain how such carnage was possible. The authors' view is that weak leadership at Allied Command was compounded by vacillation and squabbling among Eisenhower's generals, and that, by contrast, the German commanders were disciplined, resourceful and determined to fight to the bitter end. The award-winning authors, both from distinguished military families, also wrote "Tug of War".
